  • Title: Fatty and mycolic acid composition of Bacterionema matruchotii and related organisms.
    Author: Alshamoany L, Goodfellow M, Minnikin DE, Bowden GH, Hardie JM.
    Journal: J Gen Microbiol; 1977 Jan; 98(1):205-13. PubMed ID: 401865.
    Abstract:
    Whole-organism methoanolysates of bacterionemae contained mycolic acids in addition to other long-chain fatty acids. These mycolic acids were similar in general structure and overall size to those found in strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium xerosis. The long-chain fatty acids of bacterionemae, mainly straight-chain saturated and unsaturated acids, were similar to those of certain coryneform bacteria including C. diphtheriae. On the basis of these lipid data, and results of earlier studies, we recommend that the genus Bacterionema be transferred from the family Actinomycetaceae to the Coryneform Group of Bacteria.
