Glycolipids from Nocardia rhodochrous grown on glucose.
Nocardia rhodochrous grown on glucose-supplemented medium produced a high yield of a glycolipid fraction (m.p. 65-70 degrees C and [alpha]25D = + 31.4 degrees), identified as 6-(C40-C46) nocardomycoloylglucose. It accounted for approx. 3.4% of the cell dry wt. and 41% of the diethyl ether soluble lipids obtained from ethanol-diethyl ether extract. Dimycoloyltrehalose (cord factor) was found in a very small amount (0.11%).
