Abstract
The cellular long-chain fatty acid compositions of 15 species representing the Dipodascaceae and Endomycetaceae were extracted by saponification and analyzed as methyl esters by gas chromatography. The strains were charecterized by palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. The strains were divided into two major groups while group 2 was subdivided into two subgroups on the basis of fatty acid composition. Group 1 was characterized by a high percentage linoleic acid while group 2 contained a lower percentage. With this method, it was possible to identify the 15 species within 52 h as compared with 7–10 days for the more conventional methods.
