Abstract: | Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of ethyl ether-ethanol extracts of mycobacteria obtained after incubation with 35S] methionine is useful for differentiation among mycobacterial species, as the distribution of radioactive spots in TLC shows a characteristic pattern except for a few species, including M. intracellulare and M. gordonae. Some supplementary studies have been carried out in the present investigation and the following results have been obtained.
