Summary
The duration of the cell cycle, macronuclear DNA synthetic period, presynthetic and postsynthetic period was determined in Tetrahymena at different temperatures in a medium containing 0.4% protein. The relative length of all these phases remains constant over the range from 19°C to 27°C. The implication of these findings with the control of the cell cycle and its parts is discussed.
