Strains: 1, TW-1T; 2, M. pinisoli KACC 18748T; 3, M. putida KACC 21418T; 4, M. phosphatilytica KACC 21417T; 5, M. arvi KACC 21416T; 6, M. niastensis KACC 12599T; 7, M. kyonggiensis KACC 17471T. All data were obtained from this study. Fatty acid amounting < 0.5% in all strains are not listed. –, not detected.
*Summed features represent groups of two or three fatty acids that could not be separated using the MIDI system. Summed feature 3 comprised iso-C15 :0 2-OH/C16 :1ω7c and summed feature 8 comprised C18:1ω6c and/or C18 :1ω7c.
