Abstract
Analysis of the intracellular membranes of Iris germanica rhizomes ind icated high amounts of iridals when compared to sterols and lower ster ol amounts than in other plant microsomes. Microsomal preparations fro m other plants and animals were also shown to incorporate high amounts of iridals, with a special affinity for free iridals. The localizatio n of free iridals within the cellular membranous fraction and their st erol-like structural role are discussed.
