Abstract
ABSTRACT When reading over the manuscript of ‘Nuclear Divisions in Amoeba proteus’ (14), a kind office for which, on this casion, I am once more indebted to him, Professor Graham Kerr expressed a wish that I should undertake a more detailed study of the behaviour, during division, of the chromatin blocks described in that paper. At the same time I became interested in a series of publications by Drs. Atkins and Lebour in connexion with hydrogen-ion concentration, two of which (1 and 2), particularly, seemed to open up a useful line for me. Having a large number of pedigree Amoeba cultures, with field-notes of their history extending back to 1916-17, as well as cultures of other micro-organisms, there was plenty of scope for testing the value of this physico-chemical factor in the cultivation of micro-organisms under laboratory conditions. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the authors for their courteous response to my many inquiries, Dr. Atkins having given me the benefit of his expert advice in matters of a physico-chemical character.
