The constituent fatty acids of the antibiotic tsushimycin were examined by gas-liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy. Also, periodate-permanganate oxidation unequivocally indicated the position of double bonds. The structures of two major constituent fatty acids were determined as cis-3-isotetradecenoic acid and cis- 3-anteisopentadecenoic acid. As a result of parallel experiments, the main constituent fatty acid of the antibiotic amphomycin was also elucidated as cis-3-anteisotridecenoic acid.
