Microbial conversion of palmitoleic acid to 9,12-hexadecadienoic acid (16:2ω4) by Trichoderma sp. AM076

Trichoderma sp. AM076, isolated from a freshwater sample, was found to accumulate 9,12-cis-hexadecadienoic acid (16:2ω4), when grown with palmitoleic acid (16:ω7). Methyl myristate was the best carbon source for the conversion of palmitoleic acid to 16:2ω4. The mycelial 16:2ω4 content reached 17.4 mg/g dry mycelia (443 mg/L) when the fungus was grown in a medium that contained 2.0% methyl myristate, 1.5% yeast extract, and 2.0% methyl palmitoleate, pH 6.0, for 5 d at 28 °C with shaking. In both nonpolar and polar lipids from the mycelia, 16:2ω4 was detected as one of the major fatty acids when 16:1ω7 was added. It is probable that 16:1ω7 is converted to 16:2ω4 through the Δ12 desaturation reaction.
