[Comparative analysis of metabolites of Candida albicans and other clinically important fungi using gas chromatography].

Qualitative and quantitative compositions of metabolites of the fungi belonging to the genera Candida, Cryptococcus, Geotrichum, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarlum, Actinomyces, Sporotrichum and Alternaria were studied. It was shown that the composition of carbohydrates, alcohols, volatile and nonvolatile fatty acids and amines after the fungi cultivation was specific of every genus. The in vitro investigation of the entire spectra of the metabolites such as monosugars, alcohols, volatile and nonvolatile acids and amines for the determination of the markers specific of the genus Candida demonstrated that for the indication of C.

[Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by the method of gas-liquid chromatography].

Gas-liquid chromatography was used to study the composition of fatty acids and hydrocarbons of different types of Mycobacteria, including M. tuberculosis, opportunistic Mycobacteria and acid-fast saprophytes. In terms of composition of fatty acids and hydrocarbons, clinical and laboratory strains of M.
