✦ Synopsis

The effects of benzene hexachloride (BHC), an organochlorine pesticide, on cell growth and phosphatase activities were studied in the growing and developing stages of cells of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum exposed to BHC (containing a-, p-, 6and y-isomers) at concentrations of 3 60 kg ml-'. A significant increase in acid and alkaline phosphatase activities was recorded in both growing and differentiating Dictyostelium cells treated with different doses (> 60 &mI) of BHC. The cytotoxicity of BHC has been correlated with the stimulation of acid and alkaline phosphatase activities of this organism.

## Abstract Roscovitine, a cyclin‐dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor, inhibited kinase activity and the axenic growth of __Dictyostelium discoideum__ at micromolar concentrations. Growth was almost fully rescued in 50 ¡M and ∼50% rescued in 100 ¡M roscovitine‐treated cultures by the over‐expression o
