HPTLC of lipids from M. smegmatis, M. tuberculosis, M. abscessus, and C. glutamicum treated with 100 mM benzyl alcohol for 1 h (Rf = 0.16–0.45). HPTLC was performed as in Fig. 2B. Note that C. glutamicum does not produce PIM6 species. ∗, trehalose monocorynomycolate; HPTLC, high-performance thin layer chromatography; PIM, phosphatidylinositol mannoside.
