Summary An assay for the determination of the protein content of whole cells immobilized in cross-linked synthetic gels was developed. The assay is based on a three step procedure: a) methanol dehydration, b) protein extraction by 1.0 M alkali at 125°C c) colorimetric assay of the extracted protein according to Bradford's procedure (Bradford M. M. (1976), Anal. Biochem. 72:248–254). The procedure worked out was found adequate for the determination of the protein content of microbial cells immobilized in synthetic and native polymer-gel-systems.
