title: Effect of phenol on lipid and fatty acid profile of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.
abstract: Effect of phenol on total lipid and fatty acid composition of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the causal agent of bacterial blight of rice (Oryzae sativa) was studied. Lipid level was low in phenol treated cells. Number of fatty acids detected from phenol treated cells was more than those found in untreated cells as revealed by Gas chromatography. Pentadecanoic acid (C15:0), linolenic acid (C18:3) and behenic acid (C22:0) were present only in the treated cells. Palmitic acid which is usually found in bacteria was not detected both in control and treated cells.
