Isolation and characterization of arabinose mycolate from firmly bound lipids of mycobacteria
Abstract
The glycolipid, d-arabinose-5-mycolate, was purified from bound lipids of mycobacteria. The significance of this glycolipid in the chemical structure of cell wall and wax D is discussed. The hypothetical chemical structure of mycolic acid-arabinogalactan portion of cell wall and wax D is proposed.
