Biochemical Analysis of Whole Spiroplasma Cells.

Total dry mass of analyzed cells was 1,022 µg. Individual values are given as absolute weights (in µg) within this total amount, as well as in percent of the total dry mass. n = 3 analyses per sample.1Total protein, lipid, and carbohydrate content are the sum of all subtypes.2Unconjugated protein is defined as pure protein or peptide free of detectable carbohydrate or lipid; it is derived by subtracting the sum of lipoprotein and glycoprotein from total protein.3Free lipid is defined as lipids with no detectable carbohydrate or protein; it is derived by subtracting the sum of lipid subtypes from total lipid.4Free carbohydrate is defined as carbohydrates with no detectable lipid or protein.
