The two specimens of polyglutamic acid investigated were isolated by our colleagues H. T. Zwartouw and H. Smith from guinea pigs infected with Bacillus anthraci8, as described in a previous paper (Zwartouw & Smith, 1956). These specimens were: (a) extracellular material obtained from the plasma exudate ofthe infected animals; (b) capsular material from the organisms separated from the blood of the animals. Both specimens were obtained as sodium salts, containing about 14-8 % of sodium, and were dialysed salt-free and freeze-dried. They have been examined in the electrophoresis apparatus and the ultracentrifuge for homogeneity, and sedimentation and diffusion coefficients have been determined over a range of concentration to estimate their molecular weights. The special difficulties arising from the highly ionic nature of polyglutamic acid, a typical polyelectrolyte, are briefly discussed.
