Inhibition of mycobacterial mycolic acid biosynthesis by INH and ETH. M. smegmatis mc2155, mc2155 ΔnudC and mc2155 pMV261::nudCBCG were treated with serial concentrations of INH (A) or ETH (B) for 4 h, and then labelled with 1, 2-[14C] acetate for another 4 h. FAMEs and MAMEs were then extracted and separated by TLC. 14C-labelled FAMEs and MAMEs were detected by autoradiography after overnight exposure to a Kodak BioMax MR film. Similarly, M. bovis BCG, BCG ΔnudC and BCG pMV261::nudCBCG were treated with serial concentrations of INH (C) or ETH (D) for 24 h. Then 1, 2-[14C] acetate was added and cultures were further incubated for another 24 h. FAMEs and MAMEs were then extracted and separated by TLC. 14C-labelled FAMEs and MAMEs were detected by autoradiography after overnight exposure to a Kodak BioMax MR film.
