Abstract
The cellular fatty acid composition of Brucella canis and Brucella suis was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The presence of relatively large amounts of a 19-carbon cyclopropane fatty acid in B. suis was a major distinguishing feature between these organisms. The gas-liquid chromatography test for cellular fatty acids provides an additional criterion for the distinction of antigenically rough strains of B. suis which cannot be differentiated from B. canis by conventional procedures.
