Fatty acid compositions of sequential clonal variants of B. cenocepacia obtained during long-term colonization of patient J, grown on LB agar plates under aerophilic (A) and microaerophilic (B) conditions. The main fatty acids analyzed were saturated straight-chain fatty acids C14:0 (dashed line) and C16:0 (full line) (a1 and b1); saturated cyclopropyl branched fatty acids C17:0 cyclo (dashed line) and C19:0 cyclo (full line) (a2 and b2); unsaturated fatty acids C18:1ω9trans (full line), C18:1ω7cis (dashed line), and C16:1ω7 (dashed-dotted line) (a3 and b3); and hydroxy-substituted fatty acids C14:0 3-OH (full line) and C16:0 2-OH (dashed line) (a4 and b4). (C) Degrees of saturation of fatty acids in the same sequential clonal isolates of B. cenocepacia grown under aerophilic (■) or microaerophilic (□) conditions. The fatty acid compositions of these isolates are shown in panels A and B.
