Characteristics of 15:0 and 17:0 fatty acids recovered from cultures of strain Hxd3 grown on [1,2-¹³C₂]hexadecane^a

^aDetermined by interpretation of mass spectra based on information from the literature. The 13:0, 10-Me-15:0, and 10-me-17:0 fatty acids not shown here were also ¹³C labeled and occurred as two isotopmers, like the 15:0 and 17:0 fatty acids. None of the fatty acids shown was found in the sterile controls.

^bResults are estimations based on the relative intensities of the M⁺ and (M + 2)⁺ molecular ion peaks for each fatty acid.
