High-performance liquid chromatography of mycolic acids as a tool in the identification of Corynebacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, and Mycobacterium species.

چکیده
High-performance liquid chromatography of bromophenacyl esters of mycolic acid was used as an aid to assign a particular organism to one of four mycolic acid-containing genera. A gradient elution system, with methanol and chloroform, was used to distinguish representative mycolic acid patterns for the genera Corynebacterium, Rhodococcus, Nocardia, and Mycobacterium.

Rapid identification of mycolic acid patterns of mycobacteria by high-performance liquid chromatography using pattern recognition software and a Mycobacterium library.
Current methods for identifying mycobacteria by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) require a visual assessment of the generated chromatographic data, which often involves time-consuming hand calculations and the use of flow charts. Our laboratory has developed a personal computer-based file containing patterns of mycolic acids detected in 45 species of Mycobacterium, including both s...
متن کاملComparative of phenotypic tests in aerobic actinomycetes
Dear editor,I read with interest article that published entitled *Isolation and identification of bioactive compound producing Rhodococcus spp. isolated from soil samples {IJMCM/5(1) (2015) 463-468}* [1]. Some of the genus such as Nocardia, Gordonia, Mycobacterium and Rhodococcus are in actinomycete family and they are Gram-positive and partially acid-fast. Rhodococcus species usually stain Gra...

متن کاملFluorescent phospholipid analogs as microscopic probes for detection of the mycolic acid-containing layer in Corynebacterium glutamicum: detecting alterations in the mycolic acid-containing layer following ethambutol treatment.
Corynebacterium glutamicum belongs to the mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes, which also include Mycobacterium, Nocardia, and Rhodococcus. The cells of this group possess a cell wall with a thick outer layer composed primarily of mycolic acid, which functions as a permeability barrier. To investigate the mechanism of mycolic acid-containing layer (mycolate layer) formation, we have developed...
متن کاملWilliamsia spp. are emerging opportunistic bacteria
Actinomycetes that have mycolic acid in the cell walls have been classified under genera such as Corynebacterium, Gordonia, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Tsukamurella, Skermania and Williamsia [1]. Williamsia was introduced in 1999 by Kämpfer et al. [2] to accommodate actinomycetes with atypical cell morphology and mycolic acids with 50 to 56 carbon chain lengths between the genera of R...
