Abstract
Representative strains of M. fortuitum, M. peregrinum and M. smegmatis were degraded by acid methanolysis and patterns of long-chain compounds were determined by 2-dimensional TLC. The same general pattern of mycolic acid methyl esters was found in all 39 strains examined, the major components being so-called .alpha.-mycolates and characteristic pairs of polar mycolates. Analysis of alkaline methanolysates of selected strains confirmed that these polar mycolates were derived from epoxymycolic acids, as found previously.
