J Bacteriol. 1999 Apr;181(7):2293-7. doi: 10.1128/JB.181.7.2293-2297.1999.

Abstract

From the lipid fraction of a freeze-dried cell mass of a strain of the Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex, a new glycolipid was isolated and was characterized as 5-mycoloyl-alpha-arabinofuranosyl (1-->1')-glycerol, mainly on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies.
