  • Title: Differentiation of some enterococci by gas chromatography.
    Author: Amstein CF, Hartman PA.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1973 Jan; 113(1):38-41. PubMed ID: 4630514.
    Abstract:
    Relative fatty acid compositions of 37 enterococci were examined by gas chromatography. Streptococcus faecalis, S. faecium, and S. faecium var. durans yielded similar fatty acid patterns. Strains of S. faecium var. casseliflavus, and a motile yellow-pigmented streptococcus, contained very low levels of C(19:0) cyclopropane fatty acid and four unidentified components, compared to the other strains of enterococci examined. There were no significant differences in the fatty acid patterns of enterococci grouped according to plant, animal, or human source.
