STUDIES ON STREAMING : I. Inhibition of Protoplasmic Streaming and Cytokinesis of Chaos chaos by Adenosine Triphosphate and Reversal by Magnesium and Calcium Ions

In Chaos chaos streaming, motility, and cytokinesis were inhibited nearly 100% for several hours by 2.5–5 mM sodium adenosine triphosphate (ATP)1 added to culture fluid. All three effects were completely prevented by the addition of equimolar Mg++ or Ca++ ions but not Na+ to the ATP/culture fluid s...
