  • Title: A novel mycolic acid in a Mycobacterium sp. from the environment.
    Author: Luquin M, Roussel J, Lopez-Calahorra F, Lanéelle G, Ausina V, Lanéelle MA.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1990 Sep 24; 192(3):753-9. PubMed ID: 2209621.
    Abstract:
    A fast-growing, non-photochromogenic mycobacterium isolated from the environment exhibited, on thin-layer chromatograms, a characteristic pattern of mycolates composed of unsaturated mycolates and also an unknown more polar component. Spectroscopic analysis and chemical degradation showed that this latter component was a novel mycolic acid containing a methoxy group at the omega-1 position (instead of omega-17 and omega-18 in known methoxymycolates), and two double bonds in the long mero aldehyde chain (instead of one as in known mycolates with additional oxygenated groups).
