Bacterial wax synthesis.
Martin LK, Huang WE, Thompson IP. Martin LK, et al. Biotechnol Adv. 2021 Jan-Feb;46:107680. doi: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2020.107680. Epub 2020 Dec 15. Biotechnol Adv. 2021. PMID: 33338579 Review.
Many species of bacteria accumulate waxes with similar structure and properties to highly desirable animal and plant waxes such as Spermaceti and Jojoba oils, the use of which is limited by resource requirements, high cost and ethical concerns. ...

Manufacturing specialized wax esters in plants.
Demski K, Ding BJ, Wang HL, Tran TNT, Durrett TP, Lager I, Löfstedt C, Hofvander P. Demski K, et al. Metab Eng. 2022 Jul;72:391-402. doi: 10.1016/j.ymben.2022.05.005. Epub 2022 May 19. Metab Eng. 2022. PMID: 35598886 Free article.
After the ban on hunting, there is a niche in the global market for biolubricants with properties similar to spermaceti. Wax esters can also serve as a mechanism for producing insect sex pheromone fatty alcohols. ...Through this approach we managed to obtain industrially i …

Architecture of the sperm whale forehead facilitates ramming combat.
Panagiotopoulou O, Spyridis P, Mehari Abraha H, Carrier DR, Pataky TC. Panagiotopoulou O, et al. PeerJ. 2016 Apr 5;4:e1895. doi: 10.7717/peerj.1895. eCollection 2016. PeerJ. 2016. PMID: 27069822 Free PMC article.
It contains two large oil-filled compartments, known as the "spermaceti organ" and "junk," that constitute up to one-quarter of body mass and extend one-third of the total length of the whale. ...This outcome, coupled with the facts that the spermaceti organ houses …

The Fifth WS/DGAT Enzyme of the Bacterium Marinobacter aquaeolei VT8.
Vollheyde K, Yu D, Hornung E, Herrfurth C, Feussner I. Vollheyde K, et al. Lipids. 2020 Sep;55(5):479-494. doi: 10.1002/lipd.12250. Epub 2020 May 20. Lipids. 2020. PMID: 32434279
WE derived from monounsaturated long-chain acyl moieties are of industrial interest due to their very good lubrication properties. Whereas WE were obtained in the past from spermaceti organs of the sperm whale, industrial WE are nowadays mostly produced chemically from fos …

Automatic acoustic estimation of sperm whale size distributions achieved through machine recognition of on-axis clicks.
Beslin WAM, Whitehead H, Gero S. Beslin WAM, et al. J Acoust Soc Am. 2018 Dec;144(6):3485. doi: 10.1121/1.5082291. J Acoust Soc Am. 2018. PMID: 30599680
The waveforms of individual sperm whale clicks often appear as multiple pulses, which are the product of a single pulse reverberating throughout the spermaceti organ. Since there is a relationship between spermaceti organ size and total body size, it is possible to …

Properties and architecture of the sperm whale skull amphitheatre.
Alam P, Amini S, Tadayon M, Miserez A, Chinsamy A. Alam P, et al. Zoology (Jena). 2016 Feb;119(1):42-51. doi: 10.1016/j.zool.2015.12.001. Epub 2015 Dec 30. Zoology (Jena). 2016. PMID: 26781232
The sperm whale skull amphitheatre cradles an enormous two-tonne spermaceti organ. The amphitheatre separates this organ from the cranium and the cervical vertebrae that lie in close proximity to the base of the skull. ...We contend that the amphitheatre will flex elastica …

Sound transmission in the nose of the sperm whale Physeter catodon. A post mortem study.
Møhl B. Møhl B. J Comp Physiol A. 2001 Jun;187(5):335-40. doi: 10.1007/s003590100205. J Comp Physiol A. 2001. PMID: 11529477
During a sperm whale stranding at Romo, the Wadden Sea, Denmark, on 4 December 1997, we were notified in time to start acoustic transmission measurements in the spermaceti complex 1 h after the specimen was seen alive. Frequency-modulated sound pulses, sweeping from 30 kHz …
