## Abstract Fractions from a Sephadex gel filtration of homogenized __Ascidia nigra__ blood cell lysate were analyzed for vanadium by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results were unaffected by temperature from 4โ21ยฐC, and by ionic strength in the range 0.09โ1.0 M (NaCl). Appreciable loss of van
Tunicates have the unique ability to accumulate and store metals such as vanadium. In the sea squirt, Ciona intestinalis, this element is stored in phagocytic blood cells termed granular amoebocytes and vacuolar hyaline amoebocytes. Incubation of bacteria and amoebocytes together results in the phag
