ABSTRACT

The cellular fatty acids of Arachnia propionica are largely 13-methyltetradecanoic acid (_Ci15:0) and 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (C_a15:0): Thus, the fatty acid pattern of this organism resembles the pattern found in propionibacteria. This finding supports the transfer of members of the genus Arachnia to the genus Propionibacterium.
