Novel Polyoxyethylene-Containing Glycolipids Are Synthesized in Corynebacterium matruchotii and Mycobacterium smegmatis Cultured in the Presence of Tween 80

Figure 2

MALDI mass spectrum of methyl polyoxyethylenates derived from purified series-2 glycolipid from C. matruchotii grown in the presence of Tween 80. The free acids from TBAH-hydrolyzed series-2 glycolipid were esterified with methyl iodide and analyzed by MALDI mass spectrometry.
