Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of methyl mycolates from 32 species of mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium leprae, was carried out. The mycobacteria could be classified into four groups in respect of the fatty acid ester patterns detected within the range C20 to C26. The applicability of this pyrolysis-gas chromatographic method for identifying M. leprae is discussed.
对包括麻风分枝杆菌在内的32种分枝杆菌的霉菌酸甲酯进行了热解气相色谱-质谱分析。就C20至C26范围内检测到的脂肪酸酯模式而言,这些分枝杆菌可分为四类。讨论了这种热解气相色谱法在鉴定麻风分枝杆菌方面的适用性。
