*Summed features are fatty acids that cannot be resolved reliably from another fatty acid using the chromatographic conditions chosen. The midi system groups these fatty acids together as one feature with a single percentage of the total. Summed feature 4, iso-C_17 : 1 I/anteiso-C_17 : 1. Summed feature 8, C_18 : 1 ω7c/C_18 : 1 ω6c.
