The cellular fatty acid composition of Halomonas salina, a moderately halophilic bacterium grown at different salt concentrations, is reported. Fatty acids C16:0 and C18:1 were major components and significant amounts of C16:1, C18:0 and cyc-C19:0 were also detected. The results showed clear chemotaxonomic relationships with recognized members of the genus Halomonas. The salt concentration grea...
