Abstract
A method using Selective Ion Monitoring (SIM) gas chromatography-mass spect rometry is described for analysis of mycolic acids which reveals a hitherto unrecognised chemical structural diversity among these in some members of the Mycolata. The structural interpretation of mass spectral data of mycoli c acids from Rhodococcus spp and Gordonla spp using SLM is discussed. (C) 1 999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
