Mixed Langmuir films of type 1 alpha-(α-) and keto-mycolic acids (MAs) were investigated to understand the roles ofα-methyltrans-cyclopropane containing keto-MA in determining the physical and chemical properties of the monolayers. Surface pressure (π) vs. mean molecular area (A) isotherms were measured at constant mole fractions defined as the ratio of the keto-MA molarity to the total molarity ofα-MA and keto-MA (Xketo) at 25 °C and 37 °C.Aand the elastic modulus (E) of the mixed monolayer were compared for differentXketoat fixedπvalues. In keto-MA rich monolayers,Avalues were much larger than values of the combined areas ofα-MA and keto-MA, while theEvalues were close to those of solid keto-MA monolayers.AandEwere also plotted against the mole fraction ofα-methyltrans-cyclopropane containing keto-MA, which showed that theα-methyl trans-cyclopropane group stabilized the W-form conformation of mycolic acids in monolayers, and rendered them solid state. Furthermore, a comparison of the experimental results and theα-methyltrans-cyclopropane content in cell-wall MAs from various strains indicated that the ratio oftrans-cyclopropane content was important in determining the nature of the mixed MA layer.
