## Abstract Previous investigations have demonstrated that differentiation in vitro of micromeres from sea urchin embryos requires the presence of serum. In this report we demonstrate that differentiation of micromeres, as judged by their ability to form spicules, will occur in the absence of serum
## Abstract Exposure of early sea urchin embryos to 5βbromodeoxyuridine (at concentrations up to 100 ΞΌg per ml) severely decreases the uptake of exogenous ^3^Hβuridine into RNA. However, the actual gross rate of DNA or RNA synthesis in these embryos appears not to be affected by the presence of 5βb
We have reinvestigated the existence of cyclical fluctuations of protein synthesis and have examined the effects of reducing it in early embryos of the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. The results show that protein synthesis increases linearly during the first 45-60 minutes after fe
