Cellular fatty acid composition of Lautropia mirabilis

Ten strains of Lautropia mirabilis (ATCC 51599(T) and nine phenotypically similar clinical isolates) were examined for cellular fatty acid (CFA) composition to evaluate their chemical relatedness to known bacterial species and groups. The CFAs were liberated from whole cells by base hydrolysis, meth...

Zusammenfassung:Ten strains of Lautropia mirabilis (ATCC 51599(T) and nine phenotypically similar clinical isolates) were examined for cellular fatty acid (CFA) composition to evaluate their chemical relatedness to known bacterial species and groups. The CFAs were liberated from whole cells by base hydrolysis, methylated, and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. CFA profiles were generated by using a commericial software package (MIDI, Newark, Del.). All strains tested had an identical CFA profile characterized by major amounts of 16:1omega7c (41%) and 16:0 (44%); smaller amounts (1 to 4%) of 3-OH-10:0, 12:0, 14:0, 15:0, and 18:1 omega7c; trace amounts (
