Both D-and L-rhamnose may be present in the same oligosaccharide, as reported for the glycopeptidolipids of Mycobacterium avium.232 The surface antigens of all serovars examined present the inner disaccharide a-L-rhainnopyranosyl(l—>2)-6-deoxy-a-L-talopyranose. L-Rhamnose is also part of the highly immunogenic phenolic glycolipids from Mycobacterium 33...
