描述:cis-7-Hexadecenoic Acid methyl ester is a complement to cis-7-hexadecenoic acid. The non-esterified molecule has been isolated from autotrophic bacterial cultures associated with the accumulation of sulfate in biofilters. This indicates they originate from a sulfide-oxidizing autotrophic organism. Has only been detected in strains of the genus Nitrospira, which are nitrite oxidizing autotrophic bacteria.
