Wax D from different bovine strains of Mycobacterium.
Wax D(P), a peptido-glycolipid found in extracts of Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis, was not found in extracts of three strains of still-grown M. tuberculosis var. bovis (BCG, Marmorek and Dupray). However, extracts from three other bovine strains (Behring, LA and BB) did yield waxes D(P), and these did not differ as to their molar ratios of alanine/glutamic acid/diaminopimelic acid from human waxes D(P).
