Abstract
The cellular long-chain fatty acids of 36 strains representing 18 genera of the Saccharomycetace, Endomycetaceae, Metchnikowiaceae, Saccharomycodaceae, Schizosaccharomycetaceae and Dipodascaceae were extracted and analyzed as methyl esters by gas chromatography. On the basis of their fatty acid content the set of strains was divided into 6 groups, coinciding with the above families. The members of the Saccharomycetaceae (group I) had a high percentage of oleic acid while the strains classified under the Endomycetaceae (group II) and Metchnikowiaceae (group III) were characterized by oleic acid and linoleic acid as major fatty acids. The Saccharomycodaceae (group IV) had the highest percentage of palmitoleic acid. The Schizosaccharomycetaceae (group V) had the highest percentage of oleic acid, while the Dipodascacea (group VI) were characterized by a high percentage of linoleic acid.Entities:
