MATERIALS AND METHODSCell Growth. Acholeplasma laidlawii B cells were grown at 37 C in a lipid-depleted medium, pH 8.3, consisting of the following: Bacto heart infusion broth (12 g/L), Bacto peptone (5 g/L), Bacto yeast extract (5 g/L), glucose (2.5 g/L), Tris (3.5 g/L), bovine serum albumin (4 g/L), and penicillin G (105 units/L). Avidin was added to inhibit de novo fatty acid synthesis (Silvius & McElhaney, 1978). Pentadecanoic, myristic, or palmitic acids were added as concentrated ethanolic solutions to give a final concentration of 120 µ. Cells were harvested bycentrifugation; concentrated cell suspensions were used for IR experiments. The pellet of live cells was placed between two Cap2 windows separated with a 12-µ Teflon spacer. On several occasions, the viability of the live cells was confirmed by ending an IR experiment at 39 C, returning the cells to agar plates, and reculturing the cells at 37 C. Most IR experiments with live cell pellets were taken to 70 C, at which temperature the cells are no longer viable. Figure la overlays the thermotropic response of the symmetric CH2 stretching frequency of a myristic acid enriched live cell pellet taken to 39 C with that of a second pellet, from the same cell culture, taken to70 C. Figure lb and Figure lc are the equivalent data for pentadecanoic acid and palmitic acid enriched live cells, respectively. The reproducibility of these results within each of the three systems along with the viability studies provide compelling evidence that at temperatures below about 40 C (even in those experiments taken to 70 C) our spectra are derived from live cells.
