Objective:
To determine and analyse the composition of cellular fatty acids of Burkholderia gladioli.
Methods:
The cellular fatty acids composition of different pathovar strains of Burkholderia gladioli were determined by GC method and analyzed by MIDI-FAME.
Results:
The results showed that the composition of cellular fatty acids of these strains, including original food poison strains of, were similar and were identified as, and this confirmed the conclusion that Pseudomonas cocovenenans subsp farinofermentans and Burkholderia cocovenenan were the junior synonym of Burkholdria gladioli. It was interesting to find that fatty acids of C16: 0.20H, C18: 1.20H and C16: 1.20H were related to the Bongkrekic acid (BA) producing of Pseudomonas cocovenenans subsp farinofermentans.
Conclusion:
It provide more data for the study of the mechanism of BA production and pathogenesis.
