Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Gas chromatography (GC) was utilized to investigate the cellular fatty acids (CFAs) composition of 141 Yersinia pestis isolates from different plague foci of China, and 20 Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains as well. METHODS AND RESULTS: The whole cell fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were obtained by saponification, methylation and extraction followed with analysis using a standardized Microbial...
