| Abstract: | SYNOPSIS. (P32O4) is rapidly incorporated into DNA of resting cells of Euglena. This incorporation is strongly inhibited by bleaching doses of ultraviolet light. Photoreactivation of the bleaching effect does not immediately restore the rate of P32 incorporation into DNA. It is indicated that this metabolically active DNA is not directly associated with control over the development of the plastids. |
