Abstract

AbstractIn phototrophic culture of Euglena gracilis, good synchrony was found only under rather restricted programs of light‐dark cycles, and rather narrow ranges of temperature and light intensity, when cultures were flushed with air fortified with adequate amounts of CO2. When flushed with air alone, CO2 was found to be limiting, and while cell divisions were rhythmic, less than a doubling of cell number occurred in division bursts. With air as gas phase, rhythmic division activity was maintained over wide ranges of temperature, light intensity, and the ratio of light:dark in a given program; all these factors affected the amplitude of the division burst, however.
