Die Aufhebung eines Defektes der Zelltrennungen beimsnaky-Stamm vonParamaecium aurelia in Salzlösungen

Summary

From thesnaky strain ofParamaecium aurelia small monsters consisting of two non separated units were isolated into an inorganic salt solution. A significant higher percentage of cell separation was effected by the addition of triose phosphates (see Table TPE), but not by adding fructose 1,6-diphosphate. A better separation was also obtained by adding divalent iron (FeSO₄) or cobalt salts. The results give further support to the hypothesis, that the defect of cell separation is connected with the function of aldolase.
