Such extracts provided species-specific crossed immunoelectrophoresis profiles which demonstrated that “Gordona aurantiaca” and Mycobacterium fallax are antigenically distinct. Using the Mycobacterium bovis BCG antiserum as a reference, we showed that M. fallax and M. bovis BCG are more related to each other than “G. aurantiaca” is to both species. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-36-4-495
