Abstract
A technique which allows the recording of the photosynthetic O 2-evolution of a single Acetabularia cell over a number of weeks was used to study the problem of whether there is an intercellular synchronization of the circadian rhythm. The net O 2-evolution of two cells displaying rhythms 180° out of phase appeared arrhythmic when the cells were kept together in a measuring system for 7 days. Upon separation, the individual cells were shown to have maintained the phases of their original rhythms.
