A previously uncharacterized fatty acid found in Corynebacterium sepedonicum was analyzed by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry and infrared spectrometry and determined to be 12‐methyl‐ cis ‐4‐tetradecenoic acid. This fatty acid represents nearly 6% of the total fatty acids of C. sepedonicum , but it is present at significantly lower levels in other Corynebacterium species. Therefore, 12‐methyl‐ cis ‐4‐tetradecenoic acid provides a useful marker in distinguishing C. sepedonicum from other microorganisms.
