Mycobactins were isolated from five strains designated Mycobacterium farcinogenes and a similar number designated Mycobacterium senegalense following growth under conditions of iron-limitation. These lipid-soluble iron-chelating compounds were characterized by a combination of thin-layer and high-performance liquid chromatography. The mycobactins from both the slow-growing M. farcinogenes and the rapidly-growing M. senegalense strains proved impossible to differentiate both from each other and from those produced by strains of Mycobacterium fortuitum, indicating a close relationship between all three species. However, Nocardia farcinica, previously implicated with the bovine farcy strains, produced a different mycobactin which was easily distinguished by thin-layer chromatography alone.
在铁限制条件下培养后，从五株指定为鼻疽分枝杆菌的菌株以及数量相近的指定为塞内加尔分枝杆菌的菌株中分离出了分枝杆菌素。这些脂溶性铁螯合化合物通过薄层色谱和高效液相色谱相结合的方法进行了表征。事实证明，生长缓慢的鼻疽分枝杆菌菌株和生长迅速的塞内加尔分枝杆菌菌株所产生的分枝杆菌素，彼此之间以及与偶然分枝杆菌菌株所产生的分枝杆菌素都无法区分，这表明这三个物种之间关系密切。然而，先前与牛鼻疽菌株有关的嗜皮疽诺卡氏菌产生了一种不同的分枝杆菌素，仅通过薄层色谱就能轻松区分。
