Abstract
The previous article showed that sensitivity of Micrococcaceae to DAQ is probably not related to their quinone patterns. This article shows that several menaquinone patterns, possibly of taxonomic significance, may be found in Micrococcaceae. Distinct menaquinone patterns characterize certain species, notably Staphylococcus aureus.
