Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) from the microorganism Geotrichum candidum preferentially hydrolyzes cis ‐9 18∶1 and cis,cis ‐9,12 18∶2 from triacylglycerols, largely ignoring all other positional isomers of cis 18∶1 as well as trans ‐9 18∶1. To obtain additional information about the specificity of the enzyme, two triacylglycerols were prepared and utilized as substrates. The lipase hydrolyzed 85% cis,cis ‐9,12 18∶2 and 15% trans,trans ‐9,12 18∶2 from the triacylglycerol, containing ca. 50% of each acid. From the triacylglycerol containing 46.3% cis,trans ‐9,12 18∶2 and 53.7% trans,cis ‐9,12 18∶2, 44.8 and 55.2% of the two acids were hydrolyzed. Therefore the enzyme discriminated against the trans,trans isomer but not between the cis,trans and trans,cis isomers.
