Representative strains of some Mycobacterium spp. were degraded by acid and alkaline methanolysis. Two-dimensional TLC was used to determine the patterns of mycolic acids and other long-chain components in these methanolysates. Patterns composed of .alpha.-, methoxy- and ketomycolates were found in M. asiaticum, M. bovis, M. gastri, M. gordonae, M. kansasii, M. marinum and M. tuberculosis; a representative of M. thermoresistibile also contained lower MW .alpha.''-mycolates in addition to these 3 acids. In representatives of M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. nonchromogenicum, M. novum, M. paratuberculosis, M. scrofulaceum, M. terrae, M. xenopi and Mycobacterium sp. MNC 165 .alpha.- and ketomycolates were accompanied by o-carboxymycolates and 2-eicosanol and homologous alcohols which are derived from wax-ester mycolates. M. fortuitum and M. giae contained .alpha.''- and epoxymycolates and both serovars of M. simiae had a very characteristic pattern of .alpha.''-,.alpha.''- and ketomycolic acids. Comparison with data for other mycobacteria showed the chemotaxonomic significance of these mycolic acid patterns.
