    Abstract:
    Trifluoroacetylated whole-cell methanolysates of four strains each of Mycobacterium gordonae and Mycobacterium scrofulaceum were analysed by gas chromatography, using a glass capillary column. The major chromatographic peaks were identified by mass spectrometry as derivatives of fatty acids and carbohydrates. In addition, two predominant peaks, present in chromatograms representing M. scrofulaceum, were identified as 2-octadecanol and 2-eicosanol. These secondary alcohols were not found in any of the strains of M. gordonae studied. The amount of tuberculostearic acid in the latter species was less than 1% of that in M. scrofulaceum.
