I am trying to measure the quantity of residual alkane (C24) left in the bacterial growing medium after incubation on minimal mineral medium supplemented with tetracosane. The measurements are done by GS-MS.
I noticed that after one week of incubation, for one strain, beside the pick for C24, I also obtained a pick for a chemical name: phenole 2,2’ methylenebis[6-(1,1’-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl (C23H32O2)).
Can you suggest what this chemical compound be?
It can be something that my bacterial strain is producing. But what?
Can this metabolite be an antioxidant?
Thank you!
Dear lulia,
Phenol 2,2’ methylenebis[6-(1,1’-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl (C23H32O2)). This has antioxidant activity.
It has antioxidant function.
CAS 119-47-1 2-tert-butyl-6-[(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)methyl]-4-methylphenol
