Bromination of 3α,12α-diacetoxypregnan-20-one ethylene ketal provided in good yield the corresponding 21-monobromo compound. This product, on acid hydrolysis and subsequent acetolysis, gave the known 3α,12α,21-triacetoxypregnan-20-one. Acid hydrolysis of the bromoketal, followed by Faworsky rearrangement, led to 3α,12α-diacetoxy-17α-methyletiocholanic acid methyl ester.

Two lipolytic proteins (61 and 57 kDa) present in a Sephadex G-100 fraction of extracellular lipase from Geotrichum candidum ATCC 66592 were separated using high-performance liquid chromatography. Crossed electrofocusing immunoelectrophoresis was used to demonstrate that the 61-kDa lipase fraction contained two forms of lipase with pI 4.5 and 4.7. However, when deglycosylated with endoglycosidase H, the two forms gained an identical pI, 4.6. The 57-kDa lipase fraction contained one form of lipase with pI close to 4.5. Although the 61- and 57-kDa lipases were immunologically identical, the substrate specificity differed. Thus, the 61-kDa lipase hydrolysed palmitic acid methyl ester at an initial velocity of hydrolysis that was 60% of the initial velocity of hydrolysis of oleic acid methyl ester, whereas the 57-kDa lipase hydrolysed palmitic acid methyl ester at an initial velocity of hydrolysis that was only7% of the initial velocity of hydrolysis of oleic acid methyl ester. Key words: Geotrichum candidum, lipases, multiple forms, deglycosylation, substrate specificity.
