The polar lipids and fatty acid composition of Thermus aquaticus YT-1 and YS 041, T. filiformis Wai33 A1 and eighteen isolates from New Zealand, several of which are attributed to T. filiformis, were compared to complement the taxonomy of these organisms. The polar lipid patterns were essentially similar in all strains and consisted of one major phospholipid and one major glycolipid. The fatty acid analysis produced three basic groups corresponding to T. filiformis Wai33 A1, T. aquaticus and the third to the other New Zealand strains. The presence of hydroxy fatty acids is reported in Thermus spp. for the first time.
对嗜热水栖菌YT-1和YS 041、丝状栖热菌Wai33 A1以及来自新西兰的18株分离菌（其中几株归为丝状栖热菌）的极性脂质和脂肪酸组成进行了比较，以完善这些微生物的分类学。所有菌株的极性脂质模式基本相似，均由一种主要磷脂和一种主要糖脂组成。脂肪酸分析产生了三个基本类别，分别对应丝状栖热菌Wai33 A1、嗜热水栖菌以及其他新西兰菌株。首次报道了嗜热栖菌属中存在羟基脂肪酸。
