## Abstract Cell division in fertilized sea urchin eggs was reversibly inhibited when the ketoaldehyde phenyl glyoxal (PG) at a concentration of 0.1 mM was added to eggs for ten minutes prior to the formation of the mitotic spindle. We investigated whether inhibition of mitosis was due to PG bindin

## 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
Taxol enhanced assembly and stability of microtubules in the mitotic apparatus and subsequently inhibited chromosome movement and cleavage when injected in the sea urchin egg as reported previously [Y. Hamaguchi et al., 1987: Cell Struct. Funct. 12:43-52]. In this study, to examine the local effect
On the occasion of the Symposium on the Bioclicrnical and Structural Basis of Morphogenesis (Utrecht, '52) the prcsent -c~riter ( ' 3 3 ) focused attention on the role that mitochondria may play in the process of the activation of the egg. I t was suggested in particular that upon fertilization the
## Abstract Contents of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates, coenzyme A (CoA) derivatives, and carnitine derivatives were estimated in the developing eggs and embryos of the sea urchin, __Anthocidaris crassispina__. Levels of the TCA cycle intermediates in unfertilized eggs were simila
