Tóm tắt

The composition of fatty acids in lipids of selected strains of non-pathogenic unidentified corynebacteria was determined with the aim to employ such determinations for their characterization. Four strains were characterized by the presence of branched iso- and anteisoacids. One strain corresponded according to its composition to mycobacteria and nocardiae.
