✦ Synopsis
Hydroperoxide lyase converts fatty acid hydroperoxides to oxo-fatty acids which, after further oxidation, are suitable for the synthesis of higher polyamides. An improved method utilizing an acetone powder step for isolation of this enzyme from the unicellular alga Chlorella was developed. Using this procedure a five fold increase in hydroperoxide lyase activity from Chlorellu pyrenoidosu was obtained compared to previously used extraction methods. Other Chlorellu species were assayed, and it was found that C. fisca also contained significant hydroperoxide lyase activity.
