Biodiversity on the Fatty Acid Profile of Rhizobial Strains of Pithecellobium Dulce (Benth).

Fatty acid profiles of strains grown under standardized conditions have been used for identification and classification of many bacteria. In this present study, fatty acid analysis of five rhizobial isolates of leguminous tree Pithecellobium dulce at five different localities were carried by gas chromotagraphy, in which totally fifteen fatty acids were identified. But all the fatty acids were not observed in a single isolate though they are isolated from a single species.
