(7Z)-7-Hexadecenoic acid methyl ester is a fatty acid, and a volatile compound produced and released by the bacteria Clostridium tetani.

ChEBI: Methyl (Z)-7-hexadecenoate is a fatty acid methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of (Z)-hexadec-7-enoic acid with methanol. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a nitrification inhibitor, a fungal metabolite and an algal metabolite. It is functionally related to a (Z)-hexadec-7-enoic acid.
