Novel Polyoxyethylene-Containing Glycolipids Are Synthesized in Corynebacterium matruchotii and Mycobacterium smegmatis Cultured in the Presence of Tween 80
Figure 6
MALDI mass spectrum of decanoyl polyoxyethylenates derived from the cell wall of C. matruchotii grown in the presence of Tween 80. The free acids from TBAH-hydrolyzed cell wall skeleton were esterified with 1-iododecane, purified by silica gel column chromatography and analyzed by MALDI mass spectrometry. Three degraded series of decanoyl polyoxyethylenates are A, B, and C.
