In the course of our studies on microbial biotin biosynthesis, the authors have investigated a biotin intermediate with oleic acid by a strain of Micrococcus sp., which has already been reported by us as a bacterium forming pimelic acid from azelaic acid. The evidence for the formation of pimelic acid from oleic acid is the subject of the report in this communication.
