Abstract
THE photosynthetic apparatus of Euglena gracilis is exceptionally labile and can be bleached by a variety of chemical and physical agents. During a recent series of experiments on streptomycin1, heat2 and hydroxyurea3 inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis in Euglena, it was noted that cells grown in the presence of excess sodium acetate contained less chlorophyll than cells grown with smaller amounts of acetate. This observation led to the present experiments.
