Fatty Acid and Polar Lipid Composition in the Classification of Cellulomonas, Oerskovia and Related Taxa

MINNIKIN, D. E., COLLINS, M. D., GOODFELLOW, M.·1979·Journal of Applied Bacteriology

Abstract

Strains representing the taxa Cellulomonas, Oerskovia, Brevibacterium fermentans, Corynebacterium manihot and Nocardia cellulans were degraded by acid methanolysis and the non‐hydroxylated fatty acid esters released examined by thin‐layer and gas chromatography. The major fatty acid in all strains was 12‐methyltetradecanoic acid ( anteiso C 15 ) which occurred together with other anteiso acids, iso and straight‐chain acids. The fatty acid profiles of the cellulomonads were distinguished by the presence of 13‐carbon acids and significantly higher proportions of straight‐chain acids than found in the other test strains whose profiles were closely similar to one another. Two‐dimensional thin‐layer chromatography showed that almost identical and very characteristic polar lipid patterns were given by all the organisms under study: the only major components were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two phospho‐glycolipids chromatographing similarly to, but distinguishable from, the mono‐ and diacyl phosphatidylinositol dimannosides characteristic of Nocardia and other actinomycetes. The accumulated lipid data support the reclassification of B. fermentans, Cor. manihot and N. cellulans in the genus Oerskovia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
