  • Title: [Higher fatty acid composition of enterococci].
    Author: Sedov VI, Pinchuk LM.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1982 Sep; (9):49-53. PubMed ID: 6815939.
    Abstract:
    The content of unsaturated fatty acids in enterococcal cells has been found to have no essential relation to the composition of the culture medium. When cultivated in the same media, S. faecium had the degree of lipid unsaturation 1.5-2 times higher than S. faecalis. Mobile enterococci are sharply differentiated from immobile species by the content of cyclopropanic acid with 19 carbon atoms, constitute a heterogenous group and consist of at least 2 taxons, differing in the content of acids with 18 carbon atoms and the degree of lipid unsaturation.
