Biosynthesis of the novel fatty acid, 17-methyl-cis-9,10-methyleneoctadecanoic acid, by the parasitic protozoan, Herpetomonas megaseliae [Parasites of the alimentary tract of insects]

Herpetomonas megaseliae, a flagellate protozoan parasite of the gut of a dipteran,Megaselia scalaris, is shown by chromatographic, spectrometric and radiotracer methods to synthesize de novo aniso‐branched chain cyclopropane fatty acid, 17‐methyl‐cis‐9,10‐methyleneoctadecanoic acid.
