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.
