Strains: 1, MCCC 1A11036T; 2, MCCC 1A11058T; 3, MCCC 1A11059T; 4, MCCC 1A11081T; 5, MCCC 1A13718T; 6, MCCC 1A14433T; 7, Halomonas daqingensis CGMCC 1.6443T; 8, Halomonas desiderata DSM 9502T; 9, Halomonas kenyensis DSM 17331T; 10, Halomonas lactosivorans KCTC 52281T; 11, Halomonas saliphila LCB169T; 12, Halomonas elongata DSM 2581T. * Summed features represent groups of two or three fatty acids that could not be separated using the MIDI system. Summed feature 3 contained C16:1ω7c/C16:1ω6c. All of the data were obtained from this study; values shown are percentages of total fatty acids. −, percentage was less than 0.5% or fatty acid was not detected. Fatty acids that represented >10.0% are indicated in bold font.
