Abstract
TLC glycolipid profiles of several culture collection and clinical str ains of Propionibacterium acnes and Propionibacterium propionicum were examined. The former were characterized by weak orcinol-positive mino r glycolipids of type g, while the others had mainly strong orcinol-po sitive major glycolipids of type G. The simple and rapid small scale p rocedure seemed to be useful for differentiation of these phenotypical ly similar and genotypically closely related species irrespective of t heir serotypes.
