Isolation and characterization of membranes from the cultivated mushroom.

The membranes of sporophore cap tissue from the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing., were isolated using discontinuous sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation of a tissue homogenate. A membrane-rich fraction was concentrated at the 1.16/1.18 g/cc interface and a mitochondria-rich fraction at the 1.18/1.20 g/cc interface. The membrane fraction was judged to be greater than 90% membrane vesicles by electron microscopy. The protein to lipid ratio of the membrane fraction was 1.1; the molar ratio of sterol to phospholipid was 0.77. The specific radioactivity of a Mg-activated ATPase was 2.5 times greater in the membrane fraction than in the homogenate. No 5'-nucleotidase or Na-K-Mg-activated ATPase activity was observed.

Composition of lipid foams from swim bladders of two deep ocean fish species.

Lipid-containing deposits within the swim bladders of Coryphaenoides acrolepis and Antimora rostrata were investigated. Lipid analysis of this material, which was quite uniform from the two species, yielded the following data: neutral lipids, 36.0-41.7%; phospholipids, 53.6-56.7%; and glycolipids, 4.3-8.9%. Cholesterol (mainly in the free form) constituted 60.4%-77.8% of the neutral lipids. Sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine were the principal phospholipids, with sphingomyelin highest in the material from C. acrolepis and phosphatidylcholine predominant in that from A. rostrata. The overall pattern of lipids shows a resemblance to that of plasma membrane, particularly in the relatively high levels of free cholesterol, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylserine. The lipid-to-protein ratio of the material is approximately 1.5-2 to 1. The lipids of the fine inner lining (tunica interna) of the swim bladder from a shallow water fish, the kelp bass (Paralabrax clathratus), had essentially the same composition as the much more abundant swim bladder material from the deep ocean fishes.
