Taxa: 1, F. plurextorum 1126-1H-08T; 2, F. pectinovorum CCUG 58916T; 3, F. aquidurense CCUG 59847T; 4, F. frigidimaris CCUG 59364T; 5, F. hydatis DSM 2063T; 6, F. araucananum CCUG 61031T; 7, F. chungangense CCUG 58910T; 8, F. oncorhynchi CECT 7678T.
Values are percentages of total fatty acids; fatty acids representing less than 1% in all strains were omitted. tr = trace amount, i.e., <1%. - = not detected.
CFA values for type strains other than F. plurextorum 1126-1H-08T were taken from the CCUG culture collection (http://www.ccug.se/). Strains were cultivated on the same medium and growth conditions.
Summed features represent groups of two or three fatty acids that cannot be separated by GLC with the MIDI system. Summed feature 1 comprised iso-C17∶1 I/C16∶0 DMA.
ECL, equivalent chain length.
