Biochemical and differential centrifugation studies have demonstrated that the oxidative enzymes of Acanthamoeba sp. are localized in mitochondria and peroxisomes (microbodies). Although hartmanellid amoebae have been the subject of several electron microscopic studies, peroxisomes have not been described from these organisms or other protozoa. Cytochemical tests employing diaminobenzidine-tetra HCl (DAB) and hydrogen peroxide were used for the ultrastructural localization of peroxidases of trophozoites of Hartmanella sp. (A-l, Culbertson), a pathogenic strain grown in axenic cultures of trypticase soy broth.

In axenic cultures of flax rust (Melampsora lini) colonies are initiated after a lag period of 12–20 days, depending partly on incubation temperatures. Colony initiation is completely inhibited by removal of a volatile factor which is absorbed by KOH in the air space of the culture flask. The fungus remains sensitive to this inhibition for 8–10 days, i.e., until shortly before visible colonies would normally have developed. While in the presence of KOH, the fungus is not killed; cultures grow normally after removal of the KOH.Although conclusive evidence must await further work, the available data strongly suggest that carbon dioxide is responsible for this effect.

Exposure of axenic cultures of the amoeboflagellate Naegleria gruberi EGs to the thymidine analogue 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) resulted in the induction of virus-like particles (VLP) and various structures associated with their development and presumed transmission. Previously, VLP induction could be accomplished only by growing amoebae in the presence of living bacteria as a food source. Addition of excess thymidine along with BrdU did not block induction of particles. This account demonstrates that the EGs-VLP system responded to BrdU as do a number of mammalian cell lines harbouring latent viruses, and provides the basis for future work on the infectivity of the VLPs for other amoebae as well as tissue culture cells.
