Arachidonyl alcohol is a long-chain primary fatty alcohol. Arachidonyl alcohol is used as a substrate for the production of several ether lipids possessing beneficial functions[1].
Arachidonyl alcohol can be converted from arachidonic acid, then arachidonyl alcoho accumulated inside the cells as a wax ester. A new strain, Acinetobacter species N-476-2, can effectively convert arachidonic acid to arachidonyl alcohol[1].
