Hydroxyl group-containing fatty acids play an important role in anti-inflammatory action, neuroprotection, bactericide and anti-cancer defense. However, the mechanism of long-chain hydroxy fatty acids (HFA) transport across plasma membranes is still disputed. Two main hypotheses have been suggested: firstly, that

Cryptococcus humicola JCM 1461 efficiently produced cellobiose lipids (CLs), bolaform biosurfactants. The main product was identified as 16-O-(2″,3″,4″,6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-cellobiosyl)-2-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid. The production yield of CLs reached 13.1 g/L under the intermittent feeding of glucose. The critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of the

The sphingomyelin cycle is activated to accumulate ceramides in the process of epidermal differentiation. We found that sphingomyelin in the epidermis of 4 different murine strains gave three bands on TLC, the lower band containing alpha-hydroxypalmitic acid (C16h:0(alpha)). However, in
