Table 3.

Cellular fatty acid composition (%) of R1DC9T (grown in LB+FSW) and closely related members (generally, grown in marine broth; growth medium specifications in the reference articles in the note) of Cytophagales

Strains: 1, R1DC9T (data from this study); 2, Marivirga tractuosa DSM 4126T [17]; 3, Roseivirga ehrenbergii SW-152T [64]; 4, Roseivirga misakiensis SK-8T [62]; 5, Fulvivirga kasyanovii KMM 6220T [63]. nd, Not detected. Bold indicates the prevalent fatty acid components in strain R1DC9T (i.e., > 5 %). Fatty acids accounting for less than 1 % in all the strains are not reported; tr, trace (<1 %).
