General description
α-mycolic acid (MA), methoxy cis comprises 84–88 carbon atoms like the other types keto and hydroxy MA. All the MA types are synthesized from hydroxylated intermediate, with methoxy M generated by the action of enzyme methoxylase.
Mycolic acid is a long Fatty acid found in the cell walls of the mycolata taxon, a group of bacteria that includes Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of the disease tuberculosis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Methoxy mycolic acids are antigenic and are specific for pathogenic mycobacterial class. The three types of mycolic acids including the methoxy-MA display variation in their antigenicity with reference to antibody recognition.

In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, mycolic acids and their glycerol, glucose, and trehalose esters ("cord factor") form the main part of the mycomembrane. Despite their first isolation almost a century ago, full stereochemical evaluation is lacking, as is a scalable synthesis required

Mycolic acids (MA) are major, species-specific lipid components of Mycobacteria and related genera. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it is made up of alpha-, methoxy- and keto-MA, each with specific biological functions and conformational characteristics.
