## FIVE FIGURES Sodium azide is a poison known to be irritating to the human skin, but its main interest in biolo,gy is its interference with the respiration of cells. The inhibitory effect which it has on respiration is thought to be like that of cyanide but more specific (Armstrong and Fisher, '

โฆ Synopsis
The examination of four species of luminous bacteria Photobacterium leiognethi, Photobacterium phosphoreum, Vibrio fischeri and Vibrio harve y i has enabled us t o reveal some nutrient medium components effecting growth, luminescence intensity and luciferase synthesis. These agents are nucleic components (nucleotides, nucleosides and amine bases), amino acids and vitamins, which are part of hydrolysates from the biomass of various lithotrophic microorganisms, hydrogen-oxidizing, ironoxidizing and carboxydobacteria. The effect of promoting agents essentially alters the physiological state and ultrastructure of the cells of luminous bacteria and increases luciferase biosynthesis two-t o three-fold compared t o a control.
