Figure 2. TLC of M. avium spp. isolates.
GPLs from each M. avium spp. isolate were purified from total lipid extracts. Total GPL profiles were examined by TLC using chloroform:methanol:water (30∶8:1, v/v/v) as the solvent system and α-naphthol as the developer. Serovars were assigned based on a previous publication [25]. Serovar-specific polar GPLs (ssGPLs); serovar non-specific apolar GPLs (nsGPLs). Representative experiment of N = 3.
