Albro, Phillip W.(Ft. Detrick, Frederick, Md.),and Charles K. Huston. Lipids ofSarcina lutea. II. Hydrocarbon content of the lipid extracts. J. Bacteriol.88:981–986. 1964.—The hydrocarbon fraction fromSarcina lutealipid extracts was characterized by a combination of thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography and infrared spectroscopy. A total of 37 components were observed by gas-liquid chromatography of this material. A breakdown of the components into classes indicated a composition consisting of 88.9%n-saturates, 1.2% monoenes, 2.1% dienes, 5.0% trienes, and 0.6% branched-saturates. Less than 0.1% of the hydrocarbon material was aromatic. No attempt was made in this study to relate the composition to either origin or function in the cell.
