Effect of Temperature on Fatty Acid Composition of a White Thermus Strain

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A white Thermus sp. strain, NCIMB 11245, showed high levels of anteiso C17:0, anteiso C17:1, normal C16:1, and iso C16:0 with low levels of iso C15:0 + iso C17:0 in comparison to yellow-pigmented strains. The fatty acid composition may be associated with precursor metabolism or the absence of carotene pigmentation.
