We report the incorporation of fluorinated fatty acids into emulsan, an amphiphilic anionic heteropolysaccharide synthesized by the bacterium, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1. The incorporation of 2-poly(perfluoropropanoxy)-methyl perfluoropropanote and the 2-[(carboxy-difluoromethoxy)-poly(perflu
