The mycolic acids were isolated from Mycobacterium gordonae (strain ATCC 14470), and purified by thin layer chromatography. Three species were studied by mass spectrometry. The analogy between M. gordonae and M. leprae, based on the lack of tuberculostearic acid, was supported by the comparison of the structures of their mycolic acids. Succinct analyses of the lipids of three other scotochromogenic strains of mycobacteria, using thin layer chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography, were performed. These strains were more remote from M. gordonae than is M. leprae, as far as the lipid content is concerned.
分枝菌酸从戈登分枝杆菌（菌株ATCC 14470）中分离出来，并通过薄层色谱法进行纯化。通过质谱法研究了三个种类。基于缺乏结核硬脂酸，戈登分枝杆菌与麻风分枝杆菌之间的相似性通过比较它们分枝菌酸的结构得到了支持。使用薄层色谱法和气液色谱法对其他三种产暗色素分枝杆菌菌株的脂质进行了简要分析。就脂质含量而言，这些菌株与戈登分枝杆菌的亲缘关系比麻风分枝杆菌与戈登分枝杆菌的亲缘关系更远。
