The cellular fatty acids of 35 strains of Mycobacterium kansasii isolated from clinical material were analyzed to establish properties by which we could identify and characterize these acid-fast microorganisms. The fatty acids were extracted from cells grown in liquid synthetic media, and they were analyzed as methyl esters by gas-liquid chromatography. The fatty acid profiles of all strains were similar. They differed from fatty acid profiles of other mycobacteria by their content of a saturated fatty acid with a methyl group at C2.
对从临床材料中分离出的35株堪萨斯分枝杆菌的细胞脂肪酸进行了分析,以确定可用于鉴定和表征这些抗酸微生物的特性。脂肪酸从在液体合成培养基中生长的细胞中提取,并作为甲酯通过气液色谱法进行分析。所有菌株的脂肪酸谱相似。它们与其他分枝杆菌的脂肪酸谱的不同之处在于其含有在C2处带有甲基的饱和脂肪酸。
