Improved fast gas chromatography for FAME analysis of bacteria.
Bacteria are frequently identified by fatty acid analysis. We previously reported on methods to speed up sample preparation and gas chromatography, resulting in greatly improved speed and throughput [J. Microbiol. Methods 51 (2002) 209]. In this paper, we demonstrate that further reductions in chromatographic retention times are readily achieved, leading to faster identification of bacteria.
