Equivalence of Mycobactins from Mycobacterium senegalense, Mycobacterium farcinogenes and Mycobacterium fortuitum [PDF]

Microbiology, 1985
Mycobactins were isolated from five strains designated Mycobacterium farcinogenes and a similar number designated Mycobacterium senegalense following growth under conditions of iron-limitation. These lipid-soluble iron-chelating compounds were characterized by a combination of thin-layer and high-performance liquid chromatography.
