[Differentiation and identification of mycobacteria by means of thin-layer chromatography of their lipids. III. Application for the classification of scotochromogenic mycobacteria (author's transl)]. 1976

I Sehrt, and W Käppler, and A Lange

Experiences with the lipid analysis of scotochromogenic mycobacteria by means of thin-layer chromatography are described. Out of 18 strains of M. scrofulaceum 11 belong to the serotypes Lunning, Gause, and Scrofulaceum. The similarity of the lipid patterns of the M. scrofulaceum strains to the ones of the M. avium-M. intracellulare group supports the contention of some authors that these species are closely related. Lipid analysis of further species of RUNYON's group II (M. xenopi, M. gordonae, M. kansasii var. aurantiacum, M. flavescens, M. acapulcensis, M. paraffinicum, M. thermoresistibile) gives the evidence that a differentiation by means of thin-layer separation is possible in these cases, too. The answer to the question whether these lipid patterns are species specific or not can only be given when a large number of strains of every species will be investigated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D009161 Mycobacterium A genus of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria. Most species are free-living in soil and water, but the major habitat for some is the diseased tissue of warm-blooded hosts. Mycobacteria
D002855 Chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
