A new type of glycolipid possessing trehalose and mycolic acids has been identified in the lipids of Rhodococcus aurantiacus(Gordona aurantiaca), a psychrophilic acid‐fast bacterium. Gas Chromatographic and gas chromatographic‐mass spectrometric analysis of hydrolysis products of the most abundant glycolipid class (GM) (containing approx. 50% of the total lipids) showed that the hydrophilic moiety was composed essentially of trehalose, while the hydrophobic moiety contained C62‐74polyunsaturated mycolic acids only. Permethylation study revealed that the new glycolipid possessed three mycolic acid residues for each trehalose molecule and was identified as trehalose 2,3,6'‐trimycolate. |
