The mycobacillin-synthesizing enzyme system was highly purified by fractionation at 30-55% (NH4)2SO4 saturation. The enzyme concentrate on Sephadex G-200 gel chromatography was resolved into three distinct fragments. Each of the fragments on further purification by DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography behaved as a single-component system, as clearly indicated by the sharpness of the peaks in the elution diagram. None of the fragments alone nor any two of them in all possible combinations possessed mycobacillin-synthesizing activity, which was restored only when the three fragments were used together in the test system.
