Glycolipid (cerebroside and ganglioside), particularly cerebroside, has been proved to exhibit various physiological activities, including antitumor/cytotoxic (Natori et al., 1994; Jin et al., 1994; Li et al., 1995; Chen et al., 2009), antifungal (Jin et al., 1994), immunomodulatory, cyclooxygenase inhibitory, and antifouling activities (Mansoor et al., 2007).

Since alteration in cell property is also linked to biofilm formation and adherence and as a known fact of matter outer portion of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are attached to the glycolipids [30, 31], hence change in the composition of glycolipids could change the formation of biofilm or adherence of mycobacterium.

Mycobacterial glycolipids like lipoarabinomannan (LAM), lipomannans (LM), phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIM2, PIM6), and a 19-kDa lipoprotein, are the mycobacterial PAMPs believed to cause M[PHI] activation via the TLR2 activating innate pathway by regulating tumour necrosis factor (TNF-[alpha]) and IL-10 secretion reported for human monocyte-derived M[PHI]s.
