Abstract
THE cells of Escherichia coli contain a protease during their whole growth-cycle. This protease is inactive in living cells and its presence can be demonstrated only after disruption of the cell structure1. In connexion with the study of the function of this protease in the metabolism of intracellular proteins its localization in the cell was also investigated.
