Walls were prepared from M. leprae isolated from livers and spleens of infected armadillos. These contained mycolic acids and arabinogalactan, but the composition of the peptidoglycan differed from that of the other mycobacteria that have been studied, since it contained substantial amounts of glycine. The relationship of M. leprae to the other mycobacteria remains obscure.
细胞壁取自从感染犰狳的肝脏和脾脏中分离出的麻风分枝杆菌。这些细胞壁含有分枝菌酸和阿拉伯半乳聚糖,但肽聚糖的组成与已研究的其他分枝杆菌不同,因为它含有大量甘氨酸。麻风分枝杆菌与其他分枝杆菌的关系仍不清楚。
