Bull, György PálfiSelected ion monitoring NI-CI GC-MS of mycolipenic and mycocerosic acid pentafluorobenzyl fractions from HGO-53 and standard M. tuberculosis. The C27 m/z 407 ion is for C27 mycolipenate; ions at m/z 395, 409, 437, 451 and 479 are for mycocerosates. The intensities of the mycocerosate and mycolipenate peaks, in brackets, are normalized to that (100) of the major C32 mycocerosate. In the HGO-53 profiles, the peaks with retention times 19.63, 21.46, 26.32, and 29.53 correspond to 26, 27, 29 and 32 carbon straight-chain acids, respectively.
