[Isolation and characteristics of the cellular structures of Candida tropicalis]

Using the method of radioactive indicators, the specific content of proteins, lipids, total phosphorus, and lipid phosphorus was estimated in the morphological cell fractions of Candida tropicalis after growth in a liquid mineral medium containing n-octadecane as a source of carbon. The morphological cell fractions were produced by means of differential centrifuging. The following comparatively pure fractions were obtained simultaneously: soluble fraction, microsomes, mitochondria, large membranes, and cell walls.
