M. Garciabarcelo et al., GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHIC WHOLE-CELL FATTY-ACID ANALYSIS AS AN AID FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF MIXED MYCOBACTERIAL CULTURES, Journal of chromatography. Biomedical applications, 617(2), 1993, pp. 299-303
Gas chromatographic analysis of whole-cell fatty acids, secondary alco
hols and mycolic acid cleavage products could be a useful technique in
checking mixed mycobacterial cultures. The mixed cultures were confir
med when species-specific compounds of different mycobacterial species
were detected in the same chromatogram.
