| Abstract: | SYNOPSIS. Erythromycin bleaches Euglena gracilis in a manner resembling that of streptomycin. Erythromycin-bleached substrains have been cultivated 16 months in light on erythro-mycin-free media without greening. Bleached substrains were obtained only if erythromycin was added to actively growing cultures: erythromycin did not bleach if added during the stationary phase of growth of green cultures. |
