Abstract
The initial separation and probable identification of positional isomers from esterified long chain bacterial fatty acid mixtures has been achieved directly by Golay column gas chromatography. This procedure obviates the use of an oxidative procedure previously required for determining the position of a double bond via split product gas chromatographic analysis. The probable application of this procedure for determining the position of methyl branching in saturated long chain fatty acid ester mixtures is suggested.
