Number of occurrences in the database.
Average ± standard deviation [< maximum value] mole percent of total PLFA. ND, not detected.
Four isolates contained no detectable i17:1 isomers (48).
One Desulfobacter isolate contained no detectable 10me16:0 (8).
Detected in six isolates assigned to other genera (Desulfomonas and Desulfomicrobium [48] and Desulfococcus, Desulfotomaculum, Desulfuromonas, and Desulfosarcina [28]; also detected in four unknown isolates [15, 16]).
