title: The cellular localization of long chain fatty acids in sponges.
abstract: Examination of fractionated sponge tissue shows that long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) occur in high proportions in cell membranes. This conclusion refutes a recent suggestion made by other workers that sponge membranes would contain conventional fatty acids similar to those found in membranes from other organisms.
