Abstract
Live, heat-killed, and organic solvent-killed tubercle bacilli were extracted with petroleum ether, ether, and chloroform for comparison studies. The extracts were analysed chromato-graphically. All extracts contained the following components: acetone-soluble fats, free mycolic acid, ester of mycocerosic acid with phthiocerol, esters of polysaccharide with mycolic acid, and other fatty acids.Keywords
