Antifungal Lipids Produced by Lactobacilli and Their Structural Identification by Normal Phase LC/Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization–MS/MS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lactobacillus hammesii converts linoleic acid into an antifungal hydroxy fatty acid. High speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) using a hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water solvent system [3.5:1.5:3:2 (v/v/v/v)] allowed isolation of the antifungal hydroxy fatty acid. A method was developed for characterization of antifungal hydroxy fatty acids using normal phase liquid chromatography combined with atmospheric pressure photoionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/APPI-MS/MS). The position of unsaturations and hydroxyl groups was determined directly from crude lipid extracts and their hydroxylated derivatives. The antifungal compounds were identified as a racemic mixture of 10-hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic and 10-hydroxy-trans-12-octadecenoic acid. Additionally, HSCCC and LC/APPI-MS/MS methods were used to elucidate the pathway of conversion of linoleic acid by Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis , Lactobacillus plantarum , and L. hammesii to hydroxy fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid. This study links previously reported 10-hydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid producing Lactobacillus strains to antifungal activities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
