A few bacteria, including " Aeromonas hydrophila " and " Thiococcus pfennigii ", synthesize copolyester from the above two types of hydroxy fatty acids, or at least possess enzymes that are capable of part of this synthesis.
12.
9-HODE may be further metabolized to 9-oxo-10 ( " E " ), 12 ( " Z " )-octadecadienoic acid ( 9-oxoODE or 9-oxo-ODE ), possibly by the same hydroxy fatty acid dehydrogenase which metabolizes other hydroxy fatty acids, such as 13-HODE, to their oxo derivatives.
