Résumé : The effects of dinitrophenol, usnic acid and A.T.P. on nucleated and non-nucleated halves of Amoeba proteus have been studied. In regenerating nucleated halves of Acetabularia mediterranea, dinitrophenol and usnic acid induce deep changes in the morphology and chemical composition of the nucleus. It is concluded that the nucleus depends on energy production in the cytoplasm for the maintenance of both its structure and its composition. © 1952 Verlag Birkhäuser AG.
