The cellular localization of long chain fatty acids in sponges.
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.
