Abstract
The cellular fatty acids of 4 [bacterial] isolates from Legionnaires disease and 2 antigenically related isolates were identified by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and associated techniques. The 6 isolates had essentially the same fatty acid composition, which was characterized by large amounts (>80%) of branched-chain acids.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
