Cellular Fatty Acid profiles of lactobacillus and lactococcus strains in relation to the oleic Acid content of the cultivation medium

T Johnsson et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1995 Dec.

Abstract

Cellular fatty acids of 10 strains of lactic acid bacteria were analyzed. The purpose of this work was to find lactic acid bacteria with high lactobacillic acid contents. The bacteria studied were unable to synthesize oleic acid. Some strains did not synthesize lactobacillic acid, although all were able to form dihydrosterculic acid. Twenty-one to thirty-four percent of the fatty acid content of Lactobacillus fermentum and L. buchneri was lactobacillic acid, and these species were chosen for future studies of environmental factors affecting cyclopropane fatty acid synthesis.
