Changes in conductivity and pH during the growth cycle of cell suspensions derived from parsley (Petroselinum hortense) and soybean (Glycine max) have been investigated. Measurement of the conductivity of the medium represents a simple, rapid, and reliable method for the precise determination of the

β¦ Synopsis
The changes in packed cell volume and in nitrate content and conductivity of the medium during the growth cycle of cell suspension cultures from Petroselinum hortense Hoffm., Glycine max Merr., and Haplopappus gracilis A. Grey in a chemically defined medium were compared. In all three cases sigmoidal curves obtained for large decreases in the conductivity were paralleled by similar cm~ces for the rates of nitrate depletion from the medium until this nutrient was completely exhausted. Further decreases in the conductivity subsequent to nitrogen starvation proceeded at relatively slow rates and ceased when the cultures entered into the stationary phase of the growth cycle. Thus the previously reported method of deriving growth curves indirectly from conductivity measurements (Hahlbrock

Conductivity changes in the medium of cultured soybean (Glycine max L.) cells were shown to be strictly correlated with nitrate uptake and growth of the cultures. A continuous record of the conductivity was used as a simple and reliable method of determining specific growth stages and concomitant pe
## Abstract Cell division, neurite formation and acetylcholinesterase activity were examined in a clone (NBA~2~) of mouse neuroblastoma cells maintained for up to 120 hours in medium with pH values between 6.6 and 8.0. Growth rate decreased as pH was reduced from 7.8 to 6.6. Generation time at pH 7
