[Comparative study of the chemical composition and properties of the capsule polysaccharides in M-, S- and R-variants of Mycobacterium lacticolum].

Polysaccharides from the capsules of Mycobacterium lacticolum M, S and R variants were comparatively studied for the first time. The polysaccharides from M and S cells contained galactose, glucose and mannose; however, the polysaccharides must be different since they vary in specific rotation.
