    Product Description

    3-hydroxy Decanoic acid is a hydroxy fatty acid and the predominant monomer in methyl-branched poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) polymers produced by P. putida CA-3.1 It is present in LPS from the H. pylori strain SS1 and in the lipid A component of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis but not the environment or patients with other conditions.2,3 3-hydroxy Decanoic acid inhibits mitotic progression of O. virens pollens via impairment of plasma membrane function.4 It also induces a reversible shape change of the membrane crenation in human erythrocytes.
