Subject: How to quantify cyclopropane fatty acids from the
bacterial membranes
I am trying to isolate and quantify cyclopropane fatty acids from the
outer membranes of lactic acid bacteria, (mainly C19, methyl
dehydrosterculate and methyl lactobacillate). My group is trying to
find a column and conditions that would be best suited for this
purpose.

Is there anyone out there that has experience with this sort of work
and can help steer me in the right direction? Any input would be
greatly appreciated.
