of the cell wall has N-glycolyl residues. The wall
envelope contains mycolic acids with 48-66 carbon atoms
and up to four double bonds and major proportions of
straight chain saturated, monounsaturated and 10-methyl
(tuberculosteric) branched fatty acids. Fatty acid esters
released on pyrolysis gas chromatography of mycolic
esters have 16-18 carbon atoms. Cells contain diphosphatidylglecerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidiylinositol dimannosides as major phospholipids. Dihydrogenated menequinone with nine isoprene units is the predominant isoprenolog |
