Abstract

The fatty acid-based classification system divides cyanobacteria into four groups. These groups include strains that contain C₁₈ fatty acids with three, four or no double bonds. The fatty acid composition of several cyanobacterial strains that we have analysed suggests the existence of a fifth group that consists of C₁₈ polyunsaturated fatty acids with no more than two double bonds.
