| Abstract: | The long-chain fatty acids of 4 Saccharopolyspora hirsuta strains were examined as their methyl and picolinyl esters using gas liquid chromatography (GLC) and GLC-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS). All the strains had similar fatty acid profiles composed mainly of isoanteiso-, and 10-methyl-branched components. Three new substituted 10-methyl-branched fatty acids were also detected and the major component identified as 10,15-dimethylhexadecanoic acid. The implications of these data for Saccharopolyspora systematics are discussed. |
