Defective mycolic acid biosynthesis in a mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Sept 1991

Kundu M, Basu J, Chakrabarti P

Abstract excerpt

A mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis defective in mycolic acid biosynthesis was isolated following chemical mutagenesis. Fatty acids were extracted from the mutant and subjected to structural analysis by thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of both methyl and p-bromophenacyl ester derivatives. Thin-layer chromatography did not show the presence of any fatty acid of RF...
