The Electrophoretical Analysis of Esterase and Catalase and Its Use in Taxonomical Studies of Mycobacteria

Search this article

Abstract

The zymogram patterns of esterases and catalases of mycobacterial strains were studied using the thin layer agar electrophoresis. Though there were some variations, Myco-bacterium hominis, M. bovis, M. kansasii, M. fortuitum, M. runyonii, M. avium, M. phlei and M. smegmatis seemed to show species-specific patterns consisting of 2 to 6 esterase bands and one or more catalase bands. The patterns of scotochromogens and nonchromogens were rather variable.
