Table 2. CFA compositions of Neisseria type strains.
Strains: 1, 6332T; 2, N. elongata subsp. elongata LMG 5124T; 3, N. sicca LMG 5290T; 4, N. animalis LMG 26609T; 5, N. lactamica LMG 26610T; 6, N. macacae LMG 26611T. Values are percentages of total fatty acids, and were determined in this study. Fatty acid methyl esters for which no values were greater than 1 % were omitted. The three most prevalent fatty acids for each strain are in bold. nd, Not detected.

Summed features are groups of two or three fatty acids that cannot be separated by GLC with the MIDI System. Summed feature 2 contained one or more of C12 : 0 ALDE?, C14 : 0 3-OH and iso-C16 : 1 I. Summed feature 3 contained C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH.
