Abstract

A major cell envelope protein of Chlamydia psittaci with a molecular weight of approximately 43,000 was identified and partially characterized. It was present at all stages of the C. psittaci developmental cycle. A major protein with a similar molecular weight was also observed in two Chlamydia trachomatis strains.
