Käppler and other several investigators reported that determination of esterases activity in mycobacteria is useful for differentiation of mycobacteria. Käppler reported that both esterases activity were shown in M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and M. phlei, none in M. kansasii, M. marinum, M. fortuitum and M. smegmatis, and the alpha-esterase was always shown in M. avium and the Battey bacilli but the beta-esterase varied from strain to strain in these organisms. Recently, Käppler reported on the esterases activity of various mycobacterial species proposed recently as new species, using one (or two) representative (s) for each species. His results suggested that the determination of these enzymes be useful for differentiation of mycobacteria. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to make a more extensive study on the usefulness of the determination of esterases activity for the taxonomy of mycobacteria.
