RESUMO
The cellular fatty acid compositions of 29 strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides and 5 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila were studied. The cellular fatty acid compositions of all the Plesiomonas strains were identical and characterized by the presence of hexadecanoate (16:0) (33%), hexadecenoate (16:1) (28%), octadecenoate (18:1) (9%), and octadecanoate (18:0) (6%). The cellular fatty acid composition of A. hydrophila was similar to that of the Plesiomonas strains, except that the former contained an average of 25% 16:0, 29% 16:1, 12% 18:1, and 2% 18:0 acids compared with 33, 28, 9, and 6%, respectively, for the latter. The percentage ratios of 16:1 to 16:0 and 18:1 to 18:0 could be used to differentiate P. shigelloides from A. hydrophila. These ratios were 0.8 and 1.5 for the former and 1.2 and 6.0 for the latter.
