Summary

The author studied changes in the number of nucleoids inProteus vulgaris in the course of a penicillin-induced incomplete L-cycle. It was found that the number of nucleoids increased significantly during the development of large bodies from rods, and more so on solid than in liquid media. The size of the nucleoids did not decrease, but remained the same during the whole L-cycle (0.2–0.3 μ). Most nucleoids are spherical, though some are rod-shaped. In older large bodies they give the impression of a reticular arrangement.

Автор изучал измене ния в чис в ходе пен ициллин, вызванных н еполным L-цикла. Было установлено, что чис ло nucleoids значительно воз рос в течение развит ия крупных организа ций из стержней, и те м более на прочно й, чем в жидких с ред. Размер nucleoids не сниз ится, но остался же в т ечение Л-весь цикл (0.2-0.3 μ (она)). Большинство nucleoids и меют сферическую, х о тя некоторые из них с тержень-образную фо рму.
