In addition, a minor amount (0.42 %) of a C12 : 0 fatty acid and an unidentified fatty acid with an equivalent chain length of 11.799 (0.77 %), summed feature 2 (comprising C14 : 0 3-OH and/ or iso-C16 : 1, 2.55 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1v7c or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, 1.22 %), were also detected. Thus, strain 23eT could be distinguished from its phylo- genetic relatives based on its fatty acid profile.
