Identification
Name: Palmitoleic acid
Description:Palmitoleic acid is a hexadecenoic acid (16 carbon chain) and a monounsaturated fatty acid with a C-C double bond at carbon 9. (Wikipedia) The double bond is normally in the cis or Z configuration. (ChEBI). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is able to naturally synthesize palmitoleate through a series of enzyme-catalyzed steps.
