Intracytoplasmic membranes were present in M. organophilum when cells were grown with methane, but not methanol or glucose, as the sole C and energy source. Cells grown with methane as the C and energy source and low levels of dissolved O2 had the greatest amount of intracytoplasmic membrane. Cells grown with increased levels of dissolved O2 had less intracytoplasmic membrane. The amount of total lipid correlated with the amount of membrane material observed in thin sections. The individual phospholipids varied in amount, but the same 4 were present in M. organophilum grown with different substrates and O2 levels. Phosphatidyl choline was present as a major component of the phospholipids. Sterols were present and they differed from those in the type I methylotroph Methylococcus capsulatus. The relative amounts of different sterols and squalene changed with the substrate provided for growth. The greatest amounts of sterols were found in methane-grown cells grown at low levels of dissolved O2. Non of the unusual or usual membrane components assayed was uniquely present in the intracytoplasmic membranes.
