The fatty acid distribution of three mesophilic and three thermophilic strains of the genus Bacillus was determined by gas chromatography of the fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid i-15 :0 was the most abundant in both the mesophiles (51 %) and the thermophiles (41%). The second most abundant fatty acid was a-15:0 in the
