title: [Lipids of microorganisms from the family Vibrionaceae causing diseases in fishes].
abstract: Lipid fractional and fatty acid compositions of microorganisms from the genera Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, and Vibrio (the family Vibrionaceae), causing diseases of different fish species, were studied. Motile aeromonads and vibrios displayed higher relative contents of membrane lipids and oleic acid and lower relative contents of storage lipids compared with immotile aeromonads and pseudomonads, which is connected with the activities of their movements. Immotile aeromonads and vibrios exhibited higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and higher absolute phospholipid contents compared to motile aeromonads and pseudomonads. This is likely to be related to host specificity of these bacteria and reflects the specific patterns of fatty acid compositions of the infected fish (salmonid and cyprinid) tissues.
