Abstract
Four kinds of polysaccharides, glucan, mannan, arabinomannan, and arabinogalactan, were purified from the defatted cells of four strains of mycobacteria. By the chemical and immunological analyses, we concluded that arabinomannan and arabinogalactan are common serologically active polysaccharides in mycobacteria.
