Identification of mycobacterium chelonei by thin-layer chromatographic analysis of whole-organism methanolysates

M Goodfellow et al. Tubercle. 1981 Dec.

Abstract

Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography of whole-organism acid methanolysates of Mycobacterium chelonei gives a characteristic pattern of two non-polar mycolic acid methyl esters. All other mycobacteria examined so far contain mycolic acids with polar oxygen functions in addition to the 3-hydroxy acid unit.
