I. Rumen liquor from calves 3-5 weeks old, and a supernatant fraction prepared by centrifugation from rumen fluid of older calves showed an increase in octadecadienoic acid during aerobic incubation, but not during incubation.under strictly anaerobic conditions.2. The lipoxygcnase test revealed the presence of the cis,cis-~,~+-pentadiene system in the product formed on incubation, whereas oxidative degradation showed it to bclong to the w 6 family.The results point to linoleic acid as the principal product formed. Incubations in the presence of [ ~-~~C ] o l e i cacid resulted in the incorporation of 4-7 "/o of the label into the octadecadienoic acid fraction, whereas similar tests with labelled stearic acid caused about I yo incorporation.
