Abstract
LAST year I presented some results of experiments on the antagonism between p-aminobenzoic acid and sulphanilamides (sulphanilamide, sulphapyridine and sulphathiazole) in autotrophic organisms1. These experiments were carried out with two strains of the freshwater diatom Nitzschia palea var. debilis (Kg.) Grun. I also made experiments on the inhibitory action of sulphanilamide on the growth of N. communis Rabenhorst, N. Kützingiana var. exilis Grun. (f. multiplex2) and further strains of N. palea var. debilis.
