Abstract
The growth of trigonal bypyramidal crystals of Arthrobacter glucose isomerase is only possible in the presence of thymol at a concentration exceeding 2.5mM; at lower thymol concentrations rectangular and rhombic crystals are formed. When thymol is removed from the supernatant of trigonal crystals, they fall apart and recrystallise as rectangles or rhombs. The disordering can be reversed if thymol is reintroduced before the trigonal crystals have dispersed, but the other crystal forms are stable in thymol. During the disintegration of trigonal crystals the supernatant concentration of protein is increased.
