a

Approximate enrichment of the culture based on FISH analyses.

b

Averaged data of replicate lipid analyses: n = 3 for Ooij1 and Ooij3 and n = 2 for Ooij2 and WWTP.

c

Data are from Raghoebarsing et al. (42).

d

11 m, 14 m, and 17 m denote 11, 14, and 17 months of enrichment of the BRH culture, respectively.

e

Branched FA as a percentage of the sum of FA (in the preceding column).

f

Compounds comprising <0.5% of the total FA are omitted.
