✦ Synopsis


The total salt-extractable protein from seeds of important cultivated legumes and sunflower kernels has a tryptophan content ranging from 0.91% (bywt) for chickpea (Cicer arietinum) to 1.99% (bywt) for green gram (Vigna radiata). In species with substantial albumin fractions, the tryptophan content of the albumin fraction is higher than that of the globulin fraction by factors ranging between 2.3 (pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan) and 20.3-fold (pea, Pisum sativum, cv. Telephone). Although the protein content of Acacia seeds is relatively low (5-14% of seed weight), the tryptophan content of Acacia seed proteins is usually greater than that of the cultivated legumes (1.5&2.66%, bywt).

## Abstract 92% of the cellular proteins from the osmotically fragile strain __Sacch. cerevisiae__ 211 (MATa __srbl srb2 tsl__) were extracted by one passage in a high pressure disintegrator at 650 atm. After isoelectric precipitation, 60.1% of the proteins were isolated. The protein extract was ri
