전보(前報)에서 분획(分劃)한 카드뮴내성(耐性) S. aureus의 각(各) 획분중(劃分中)에 함유(含有)된 카드뮴을 원자흡광법(原子吸光法)으로 분석(分析)하여 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1. 균체(菌體) g 당(當) $690.9{mu}g$의 카드뮴이 함유(含有)되었다. 2. 동(同) 카드뮴 중 39.9%에 상당(相當)하는 량(量)은 TCA로 용이(容易)하게 추출(抽出)되었으나 52.2%의 카드뮴은 TCA 추출(抽出) 후(後) Ethanol-Ether, Perchloric acid, Ammonia수(水)로 순차적(順次的)으로 추출(抽出)하여 추출(抽出)되지 아니하고 잔사중(殘渣中)에 잔유(殘有)하였다. 3. 균체부위별(菌體部位別)로는 원형질획분(原形質劃分)에 26.8%, 원형질막획분(原形質膜劃分)에 59.1%, 세포벽획분(細胞壁劃分)에 14.1%가 함유(含有)되었고, 4. 세포벽(細胞壁에) 함유(含有)된 카드뮴 중 90% 이상(以上)이 Lipopolyeaccharide 획분(劃分)에서 검출(檢出)되었다.
A strain of Staphylococcus aureus resistant against cadmium was cultivated by using a liquid medium containing 10ppm cadmium ion, and then, it was fractionated into several fractions as described in the previous paper. Content of the metal in each fraction was determined through an atomic absorption spectrometery. The results are as follows; (1) A $690.9{mu}g$ cadmium was contained in one gram dry cell. (2) A 39.9% of total cadmium was easily extracted by TCA, however a 52.2% was unextractable even by series of extraction with TCA, ethanol-ehter, perchloric acid and ammonium water. (3) Among the fractions prepared along the cellular structure, plasma membrane fraction showed a highest content of the metal by containing a 59.1%. (4) The fraction of cytoplasm and cell wall contained a 26.8 and 14.1%, respectively. (5) More than 90% of the metal contained in the cell wall was detected from the fraction of lipopolysaccharide. It is considered from these results tht at least a 70% of the cadmium up taken by the resistant cell associates with membranous structure in the cell surface.
