We measured the intracellular levels of free cytoplasmic calcium in Werent phases of the cell cycle in viable rat fibroblasts, using two parameter flow cytometric analysis with Hoechst 33342 as the DNA specific dye and Fluo-3 as the calcium sensitive dye. We studied changes in calcium levels during

Abstract
The equilibrium distribution of 5,5βdimethyloxazoladine 2,4βdione (DMO) between intraβ and extracellular volume was used to estimate intracellular pH (pHi) in Tetrahymena pyriformis. In control experiments, DMO was found to equilibrate rapidly in response to a pH gradient. Under normal growth conditions, pHi was constant over a finite range of external pH, being maintained near pH 7.1 over the external pH range 5.25 to 7.3. This same range of external pH was also optimal for growth. pHi was monitored during the cell cycle of a synchronous population of T. pyriformis GL. The cells were synchronized either by starvation/refeeding or heat shock. Under both conditions, there were two alkaline shifts of approximately 0.4 pH units per cell cycle. These shifts in pH retained a constant remporal relationship to S phase and were not affected by changes in the time, duration, or magnitude of cytokinesis.

## Background: Although the rate of rna synthesis is known to drop at mitosis, the recent identification of 11 stages in the cell cycle (el-alfy et al., 1994) makes it possible to measure the rate of this synthesis at each one of the stages and thus find out how it varies throughout the cell cycle.
