Biological Context
14-Pentadecenoic acid is a 15-carbon, long-chain fatty acid that contains an alkene functional group on the terminal carbon of its aliphatic tail. The oxidation pattern of this fatty acid resulting from growth of M. cerificans at the expense of the parent alkene has been reported.1 14-Pentadecenoic acid has been used in the fabrication of fibrous scaffold biomaterials for tissue engineering applications and for the construction of metallomesogenic side-chain polymers that coat capillary columns used in gas chromatography.2,3
