Abstract

Lipoarabinomannans are well characterised lipoglycans present in the cell envelopes of mycobacteria and closely related bacteria. To define further the distribution of these lipoglycans we have investigated the mycolic acid-containing bacterium Gordonia rubropertincta and, by analysis of carbohydrate composition and antigenic cross-reactivity, demonstrated the presence of a lipoarabinomannan-like lipoglycan. A fraction that appeared to contain higher phosphatidylinositolmannosides was also isolated.
