Abstract excerpt
Toward studying the genetics, biosynthesis, and roles in the pathogenesis of the dominant surface glycopeptidolipid antigens of Mycobacterium avium, rough colony variants of M. avium serovar 2 were picked, cultured in quantity, and their lipid composition examined. Two of the rough (Rg) variants, Rg-3 and Rg-4, were devoid of glycopeptidolipids or any more elemental structures and thus were similar to those...
