title: [Cellular fatty acid composition of the Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei strains as generic feature of Burkholderia].
abstract: The cellular fatty acid compositions of studied two strains of Burkholderia mallei and a strain of Burkholderia pseudomallei are represented by saturated and monounsaturated straight chain fatty acids with 14-18 carbon atoms, cyclopropane fatty acids C(17 inverted delta) and C(19 inverted delta), and hydroxy acids 3-OH-C14:0, 2-OH-C(16:0), and 3-OH-C(16:0). The strain variation of cyclopropane and unsaturated fatty acid levels was observed. The cellular fatty acid spectra of studied bacteria did not depend essentially on growth medium. The levels of cyclopropane fatty acids increased and those of unsaturated ones decreased with culture age, a tendency to increasing the levels of hydroxy fatty acids was observed too.
