Abstract
SYNOPSIS. Oral regeneration, oral reorganization and cell division in the ciliate Stentor coeruleus can be temporarily blocked at any stage of development by exposure to colchicine. The implications of this observation, presented as an assumption that colchicine exerts its effects by specifically preventing the formation of microtubular elements in the cells, suggest that microtubules are essentially involved in many aspects of these complicated processes of cellular differentiation.
