Abstract
The structure of the plasma membrane of the ray fungus Micropolyspora angiospora has been studied by the freeze-fracture technique. A pattern of alternate rows of smooth and densely particulated areas was observed on the P-face of the plasma membrane. This pattern was produced by lowering the temperature resulting in the orderly crystallization of the lipids of the membrane. This type of orderly crystallization of the plasma membrane lipids has not been reported in other biological membranes. The plasma membrane of M. angiospora seems to provide an excellent model for biophysical and biochemical studies on the structure of biological membranes.
