Abstract:
:The sequence distributions of two microbial copolyesters obtained by fermentation of Rhodospirillum rubrum, grown with 3-hydroxyhexanoic or 3-hydroxyheptanoic acids, were determined by analyzing the oligomers prepared by partial pyrolysis or partial methanolysis of these copolyesters using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS). Oligomers up to pentamers were identified in the case of partial pyrolysis and up to tetradecamers in the case of partial methanolysis. The comparison between the experimental and calculated peak intensities of FAB mass spectra allows the calculation of compositions and sequence distributions, which in these copolyesters follow Bernoullian statistics, indicating that they are random terpolyesters.
