When rapid gas-liquid chromatography methods for determination of bacterial fatty acids were compared, results showed that saponification was required for total fatty acid analysis. Transesterification with boron-trihalide reagents (BF(3)-CH(3)OH, BCl(3)-CH(3)OH) caused extensive degradation of cyclopropane acids and was less effective than saponification in releasing cellular hydroxy fatty acids. Digestion of cells with tetramethylammonium hydroxide was unsatisfactory because of extraneous gas-liquid chromatography peaks and because of lower recovery of branched-chain and hydroxy fatty acids. A simple, rapid saponification procedure which can be used for total cellular fatty acid analysis of freshly grown cells is described.
在比较用于测定细菌脂肪酸的快速气液色谱法时,结果表明总脂肪酸分析需要皂化。用三卤化硼试剂(BF(3)-CH(3)OH、BCl(3)-CH(3)OH)进行酯交换会导致环丙烷酸大量降解,并且在释放细胞羟基脂肪酸方面不如皂化有效。用氢氧化四甲铵消化细胞并不理想,因为会出现额外的气液色谱峰,并且支链脂肪酸和羟基脂肪酸的回收率较低。本文描述了一种简单、快速的皂化程序,可用于对新鲜培养细胞进行总细胞脂肪酸分析。
