UCY ENERGY supplies FAME

UCY ENERGY supplies different types of biodiesel, usually either in ISO tanks or via road tanker

UCY ENERGY supplies biofuels and methyl esters for a variety of applications

A fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) can be created by an alkali catalyzed reaction between fats or fatty acids and methanol. The molecules in biodiesel are primarily FAMEs, usually obtained from vegetable oils by transesterification.

Since every microorganism has its specific FAME profile (microbial fingerprinting), it can be used as a tool for microbial source tracking (MST).

The types and proportions of fatty acids present in cytoplasm membrane and outer membrance (gram negative) lipids of cells are major phenotypic trains. The technique for determining these fatty acids is called FAME (Fatty acid methyl ester). This technique is used for clinical analysis and the fatty acids can be determined by lengths, bonds, rings and branches. Widely used in characterizing new species of bacteria. Also used for identifying pathogenic strains. You take a bacterial culture, extract fatty acids, fatty acids are derivative to form methyl esters, those volatile derivatives are than placed under gas chromatography, the patterns of the peaks help identify the organism.
