The destructive properties of the bacteria of the genus aeromonas with respect to toxic phenolic and other difficult oxidation compounds are shown [5][6][7][8][9].It was found that the strain aeromonas hydrophila © 2019 Gudzenko T.

In previous studies, a strain of bacteriade structors of phenolic compounds was isolated from the wastewater of pharmaceutical production [10], also it was identified by phenotypic characteristics as the species aeromonas ichthiosmia [3].
The aim of this study was determination of fatty acid composition of cellular lipids and identifi cation of the strains, isolated from the wastewater of pharmaceutical production, -the destructor of aro matic xenobiotics.

materials and methods
The object of research was a strain it was iso lated from the wastewater of pharmaceutical produc tion and that it is biochemically active against phe nolic compounds.
For analysis of the cellular fatty acids composi tion of the strain inoculation loops of biomass (the bacteria were cultured on Tryptic soy agar medium at the temperature of 28 ± 1 °C for 24 h) were placed into glass vials for chemical cell lysis and saponi fication of lipids.Saponification of bacterial cellu lar lipids was conducted with methanol solution of NaOH, methylation of fatty acid salts was conducted with acidic methanol solution, extraction was per formed with organic solvent by liquidliquid extrac tion and neutralization of the sample was achieved with 0.1 M NaOH treatment.The obtained methyl esters were analyzed by gas chromatography [11].
Methyl esters of cellular fatty acids were sepa rated on gas chromatograph Agilent 7890 (Agi lent Technologies, USA) with ULTRA-2 capillary column and with flame-ionization detector (FID).In the course of analysis, a samples of bacterial mate rial with a volume of 2 μl volume were transferred into the evaporator in the mode split with a coeffi cient 40:1, evaporator's temperature -250 °C.The separation was carried out in temperature program ming mode -initial temperature of 170 °C with a gradient of 5 °C/min to 270 °C.Fatty acid content was expressed as a percentage to total sum of peaks' squares.
Determination of the cellular fatty acid com position of the strain and identification were per formed using the MIDI Sherlock 4.5 software and the RSTBA6 library version 6.2.
Statistical processing of the results of studies conducted three times, was carried out using the MS Excel computer program with the definition of Stu dent's t-test.The difference was considered statisti cally significant at p < 0.05.

results and discussion
Based on the phenotypic characteristics that it was determined by classical bacteriological methods and by the API 50 CHB Medium test system (bio Merieux, France), the explored strain was previous ly classified as aeromonas ichthiosmia.It is shown that the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 is a gram-negative mobile rod with a size of 1.0-3.0×0.4-1.0 µm.Bacteria are catalase and oxidase positive, reduce nitrates, are DNAlike active and resistant to O/129 (2,4-diamino-6,7-diisopropylpteridine phosphate), produce indole.The strain aeromonas ichthio smia ONU552 has a positive reaction with me thyl red and a positive reaction of FogesProskauer , does not produce hydrogen sulphide, does not fer ment lactose.It ferments glucose (with the synthesis of acid and gas), arabinose, sucrose.The metabolism of the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 is characterized by oxidation and fermentation.
It was compared the obtained data on the cel lular fatty acids composition of the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 with other representatives of the genus aeromonas [15] and it was noted that al most all the characteristic fatty acids of the genus aeromonas were in the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 (13:0 iso, 17:0, 17:1 w8c, 15:0 iso, 17:0 iso, 17:1 w9c iso), with the exception of such fatty acids as 15:0, 16:0 iso; and it was found instead of 16:1 w9c alcohol to 16: 1 w7c alcohol.
Comparison of the literature data on the fatty acid profile of the strain aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 35654 with the obtained data of fatty acid profile of the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 has proved certain similarities: the presen ce of almost identical percentage of isomers (36% of the total area of the peaks in the chromatogram) of hexadecenoic acids (16:1 w7c/16:1 w6c) and the presence a slightly higher percent of hexadecanoic acid in the aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 strain (21.84%) compared to the aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 35654 (17.29%).Conversely, it was found out that strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 contains less fatty acid 18:1 w7c (8.53%) compared with the strain aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 35654.Howe ver, 15:0; Σ14:0 3OH/16:1 iso I; 16:1 w7c alco hol and 16:0 N alcohol fatty acids are not present in fatty acid profile of the strain aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 35654 [16].
It was interesting to observe the similarity of the fatty acid composition of the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 and the strain aeromonas sharmana sp.nov.GPTSA-6T [17].Fatty acids 16:0, 18:1 w7c, 12:0, 14:0 and total Σ14:0 3OH/16:1 iso were detected on chromatograms of both bacterial strains.So, the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 that was investigating during the study is similar to the strain aeromonas sharmana sp.nov.GPTSA-6T ac cording to the fatty acid profile.
The ratio of the total number of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids of the unbranched structure to the total amount of fatty acids of the branched structure was 10.5.
There were 3-hydroxydodecanoic (0.23%) and 3-hydroxypentadecanoic (0.35%) acid in the lipid fractions of the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 -destructor of aromatic xenobiotics.In ad dition, it was fixed fatty acid 15:0 iso 3OH with a percent content of 3.85 (Table ).The total amount of hydroxy acids was 11.02% of the total fatty acids per cent of the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552.
Thus, the analysis of the cellular fatty acid profile of the strain of the bacterium destructor of aromatic xenobiotics using the MIDI Sherlock system showed that the presence of hydroxy acids (12:0 3OH, 15:0 3OH, 15:0 iso 3ОН) and the domi nance of hexadecanoic (16:0) and hexadecenoic (16:1 w7c/16:1w6c) acids were a feature of the strain of the aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552.The similarity index of the strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 to species of aeromonas ichthiosmia was 0.564.
36.89% from cellular fatty acids composition.The found features of the fatty acid composition of the bacterial strain aeromonas ichthiosmia ONU552 under investigation can be as sociated with the predominant content of organic cellular fatty acid (%) composition of aeromonas ichthiosmia Onu552
