Fatty Acid Composition of Spirochaeta stenostrepta

Ronald Joseph a,1
PMCID: PMC251457  PMID: 5079081

Abstract

The fatty acid composition of Spirochaeta stenostrepta consists primarily of saturated, branch-chained fatty acids. Iso-C15, anteiso-C15, iso-C17, and anteiso-C17 represent 66% of the total fatty acids.
