Abstract

The cellular fatty acid composition of Legionella feeleii was determined by capillary gas-liquid chromatography, and the ubiquinone content was determined by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. As in other Legionella species, this new species is characterized by relatively large amounts of branched-chain fatty acids and by major amounts of ubiquinones with more than 10 isoprene units in the side chain.
