Abstract

Fatty acids of five strains of were examined by gas-liquid chromatography. The strains showed identical patterns, characterized by the presence of -hexadecanoate. octadecenoate and 3-hydroxytetradecanoate as major acids. The general acid pattern showed a distinct similarity to that of species.
