Abstract
Cell-free extracts of tissue-derived cells of Mycobacterium lepraemurium TMC 1701 have been found to have mycobacterial catalase which is of the T type. Immunological distance measurements of this catalase against three reference mycobacterial systems, as determined by a micro-immunoprecipitation technique, showed that catalase from M. lepraemurium TMC 1701 is most closely related to that of Mycobacterium avium but is still distinct from it. In this respect, this strain is uniquely positioned between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. avium.Keywords
