We determined the cellular fatty acid composition of reference strains and clinical isolates of each of the three Kingella species, Cardiobacterium hominis, and Eikenella corrodens by using capillary gas chromatography. Kingella denitrificans and Kingella kingae contained myristic (14:0) and palmitic (16:0) acids as major acids, whereas cis-vaccenic (18:1 omega 7c) and palmitic acids were the major acids in Kingella indologenes, C. hominis, and E. corrodens. C. hominis differed from the other four species by the absence of 3-hydroxylauric (3-OH-12:0) acid, from K. indologenes by the presence of 3-hydroxypalmitic (3-OH-16:0) acid, and from E. corrodens by the presence of 3-hydroxymyristic (3-OH-14:0) acid. E. corrodens contained a small amount (2%) of myristic acid, while the other four species contained moderate to large amounts (11 to 31%) of this acid.

D009346 Neisseriaceae A family of gram-negative, parasitic bacteria including several important pathogens of man.
D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
