The major cellular fatty acids of strain Coronado(T) are C18:1w7cis (56.6%) and C16:0 (20.3%). Other fatty acids found in significant amounts (>2%) are 2-OH-C14:0 (4.8%), C16:1w7cis (9.8%), and C17:1w6cis (2%). The fatty acid profile of strain Coronado(T) fits generally within the ranges described for members of the most closely related genera (_Erythrobacter_, _Porphyrobacter_ and _Erythromicrobium_, comparison data from \cite{Hiraishi_2002}). Two exceptions to this are a slighly higher level of C14:0 than average and a much higher level of C16:0 than average.  The major respiratory quinone is Q10 (92%), as for all members of the _Erythrobacteraceae_ family. The predominant polar lipid is phosphatidylglycerol, with significant amounts of sphingoglycolipid and phosphatidylethanolamine. Smaller amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, and non-specific phospholipid two unidentified phospholipids  were also observed.
