In an attempt to differentiate between Weissella viridescens, W. paramesenteroides, W. hellenica and some atypical arginine-negative Weissella isolates from meats, their cellular fatty acid composition was determined by a rapid GC method. Results showed that W. viridescens synthesized eicosenoic (n-C20:1) acid, while the other two species did not. Meanwhile, unlike W. paramesenteroides, W. hellenica lacked cyclopropane fatty acids with 19 carbon atoms, i.e. dihydrosterculic or lactobacillic acid. Weissella viridescens contained zero to low amounts (< 1%) of C19 cycl. Original meat isolates identified as W. viridescens or W. hellenica shared similar fatty acid profiles with the respective type strains, whereas the "wild" atypical Weissella isolates resembled more with W. paramesenteroides, and all together with Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides. Interesting variations were noted in the total C19 cycl contents among unidentified Weissella, being generally consistent with their grouping based on the type of lactate they formed and the whole-cell protein profile similarity they shared.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007778 Lactobacillus A genus of gram-positive, microaerophilic, rod-shaped bacteria occurring widely in nature. Its species are also part of the many normal flora of the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina of many mammals, including humans. Lactobacillus species are homofermentative and ferment a broad spectrum of carbohydrates often host-adapted but do not ferment PENTOSES. Most members were previously assigned to the Lactobacillus delbrueckii group. Pathogenicity from this genus is rare.
D007934 Leuconostoc A genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic bacteria whose growth is dependent on the presence of a fermentable carbohydrate. It is nonpathogenic to plants and animals, including humans. Leukonostoc
D008461 Meat Products Articles of food which are derived by a process of manufacture from any portion of carcasses of any animal used for food (e.g., head cheese, sausage, scrapple). Meat Product,Product, Meat,Products, Meat
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.
