Fatty acids profile (%) of Methylobacterium sp. K003 compared to its reference strain Methylobacterium radiotolerans JCM 2831. Peaks with imperfect separation were collectively reported as "Summed Features" with specific components identified: Summed Feature 2 (putative 12:0 aldehyde), Summed Feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c), and Summed Feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c). Absence of a particular fatty acid is denoted by (−).
