Fatty Acid Composition of Caulobacter crescentus Chow, Tina C. and Schmidt, Jean M.,, 83, 369-373 (1974), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-83-2-369, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1350-0872, abstract= SUMMARY: The most abundant fatty acids of Caulobacter crescentus, as determined by gas- liquid chromatography, were 18: 1, 16: 1, 16: 0, 12: 0, 15: 0, 17: 0 and cyclopropane acid 17Δ. The composition of the two morphological forms of this bacterium differed, in that the stalked bacteria and isolated stalk fragments contained more 16: 0 and 17 Δ, and less 16:1 than the swarmers., language=, type=
