Methoxy-mycolic acids, which contain several methoxy groups, comprise between 10 % and 15 % of the mycolic acids in the organism.

13.
The high mycolic acid content of " Mycobacteria ", is responsible for the staining pattern of poor absorption followed by high retention.
14.
They are named this way because they contain mycolic acids, which is also the reason that simple staining or Gram staining does not give good results with this microbe.
15.
Amino acid replacements in the NADH binding site of InhA apparently result in INH resistance by preventing the inhibition of mycolic acid biosynthesis, which the bacterium uses in its cell wall.
16.
Thus, the majority ( 66 % ) of the pentaarabinosyl units are substituted by mycolic acids, leaving the minority ( 33 % ) available for interaction with the immune system.
17.
""'Millisia brevis " "'is a mycolic acid producing bacterium from the genus of Millisia which has been isolated from activated sludge in Australia.
18.
The high mycolic acid content of certain Protozoa cell walls, and those of " Mycobacteria ", is responsible for the staining pattern of poor absorption followed by high retention.
19.
Biochemical reactions, growth characteristics and mycolic acid profiles ( HPLC ) resembled those of " Mycobacterium shottsii ", a non-pigmented mycobacterium also isolated during the same epizootic.
20.
"Mycobacterium tuberculosis ", the cause of tuberculosis, evades effective immune clearance through encapsulation, especially with mycolic acids that are particularly resistant to the normal degradative processes of macrophages.
