Abstract The effect of age of a culture ofSarcina flava on the chemical composition of the total membrane fraction has been investigated. Both protein and lipid contents decrease with age, but there is little variation in carbohydrate content. The apparent decreased lipid content may be a reflection of the increased binding of lipid to protein with age. The main findings from the amino acid analysis of three membrane preparations are reported. The major carbohydrates present in the membrane are, in order of decreasing concentration, mannose, glucose, ribose and rhamnose.
