Utilization of carbon compounds for growth of mycobacteria was studied by many investigators already in early days of study on mycobacteria. A number of investigations on this subject were carried out recently with the aim of identifying various spe cies of mycobacteria. Most of the studies, however, related to the differentiation of rapid growing mycobacteria, and only a few papers have dealt with the differentiation of slow-growing mycobacteria. It was desired to detect some methods to differentiate slowgrowing mycobacteria. In the course of studies on nutritional requirements of mycobacteria conducted in this laboratory, utilization of n-butanol and iso-butanol for growth was found to be useful for differentiation of M. avium and M. intracellulare, which was considered to be important and was studied by many workers.
