Volatile and Cellular Fatty Acids of Haemophilus vaginalis

C Wayne Moss a, W E Dunkelberg Jr a,1
PMCID: PMC315431  PMID: 5344117

Abstract

The major volatile acid produced by Haemophilus vaginalis was acetic acid. The absence of propionate, butyrate, and cellular branched-chain fatty acids indicates that H. vaginalis is not related to Propionibacterium or Butyribacterium.
