Sliding Motility, Biofilm Formation, and Glycopeptidolipid Production in Mycobacterium colombiense Strains

Figure 5

TLC profile of the GPLs in Mycobacterium colombiense strains. Crude lipid extracts of (1) M. avium 104, (2) M. colombiense 19B, (3) M. colombiense CECT 3035, and (4) M. colombiense 57B. Cells cultivated (a) under planktonic and (b) motile conditions were developed using chloroform-methanol-water (65 : 25 : 4, v/v/v). GPLs: glycopeptidolipids, PIMs: phosphatidyl-inositol mannosides, and PG: phosphatidylglycerol.
