The fatty acid compositions of 21 pure cultures of rumen bacteria, representing 12 genera and 14 species, were compared as methyl esters. Each organism possessed a consistent and reproducible fatty acid profile. Overlapping similarities and differences in composition did not allow differentiation between families or genera. Although species differentiation was possible, fatty acid composition appeared to be only an aid in the identification of bacteria.
对代表12个属和14个种的21种瘤胃细菌纯培养物的脂肪酸组成进行了甲酯形式的比较。每种微生物都有一致且可重复的脂肪酸谱。组成上的重叠相似性和差异无法区分科或属。虽然有可能区分种,但脂肪酸组成似乎只是细菌鉴定的一个辅助手段。
