The composition of free mycolic acids was studied in the cells of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6871, B. flavum 22, B. stationis ATCC 14403, Corynebacterium divaricatum ATCC 14020 and Rhodococcus maris IMV 195. The acids are a mixture of saturated and unsaturated compounds with the total number of carbon atoms from 32 to 36 and the number of C atoms in the alpha-chain from 10 to 15.
