Protein A in the stable L-forms of Staphylococcus aureus.
The presence of protein A in the stable L-form of S. aureus BM 3041 was proved. Its amino acid composition and electrophoretic characteristics were compared with the parent strain. The location of protein A on the cytoplasmic membranes of the L-form cells, as well as on the extracellular membranes were established by immunoelectron microscopy. In the cells of the parent bacterium its location on the cell wall was observed.
