The fatty acid compositions for 40 strains of moderately halophilic Gram‐negative rods were determined by gas‐liquid chromatography. The strains studied were included in the genera: Vibrio, Deleya, Alteromonas, Chromobacterium, Flavobac‐terium and Pseudomonas. Although there were quantitative differences all strains showed more or less similar spectra of fatty acids ranging from C 12 to C 20 chain. The major fatty acid species were C 16:0 , C 16:1 and C 18:1 . Most striking was the predominance of the C 18:1 component, the major fatty acid in extracts of 29 of the 40 strains.
