S. Nayak et al., Extraction, purification and preparation of species-specific phenolic glycolipid (PGL) from Mycobacterium bovis (AN5), I J ANIM SC, 70(5), 2000, pp. 446-448
Phenolic glycolipid (PGL) which is species-specific to Mycobacterium bovis
AN5, was extracted, purified and deacylated using preparative thin layer ch
romatography and florisil column. On single directional chromatography, usi
ng solvent system chloroform : methanol : water (90:10:1, v/v x 1), the mob
ility of deacylated PGL of M. bovis AN5 was identical with the mobility of
authentic deacylated PGL (Rf value 0.23).
