Notes:
Structures of the fatty acid characterizing the various components of A40926 were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry on the methyl esters obtained by methanolysis of the complex. The results confirm the residues previously assigned to Factor A (n-Undecanoic acid) and B (10-methyl-undecanoic acid) and establish the residues of Factor A1(9-methyl-decanoic acid), B1 (n-dodecanoic acid), RS1 (8-methyl-nonanoic acid), RS2 (n-decanoic acid), and RS3 (n-tridecanoic acid). As the actinomadura species contain in their mycelia large quantities of C15-C17 fatty acid residues as membrane phospholipids, these mycelia were saponified and the fatty acids obtained were analyzed as above. There is a close correlation beterrn the fatty acid content of A40923 complex and that of longer homologues in the producer mycelia.
