## Abstract Visible light of moderate intensity (1200 ftβcd) can severely inhibit cell division of a nonβphotosynthetic mutant of __Euglena gracilis__ when growth is supported by butanol, ethanol, or fumarate as sole carbon source. The degree of inhibition is pH dependent, being greatest at pH 4 to

β¦ Synopsis
Visible light of moderate intensity causes two and perhaps three types of division inhibition in Euglena gracilis and related cells. Fluorescent light causes a general inhibition of growth and division which is temperature-dependent. Pigmentation or complex organic media partially lifts this inhibition. A second type of inhibition, which is transient, can be caused by either fluorescent or incandescent light, and is found with an irreversibly bleached strain of Euglena grown on a limiting concentration of acetate; this inhibition could not be demonstrated in cells grown on limiting concentrations of glucose.

In the dark, growth rates of Euglena gracilis were independent of culture pH between the limits of three to eight. Visible light of moderate intensity inhibited growth rates, with the degree of inhibition being markedly pH dependent. The most severe inhibition was observed at pH 4 to 5 , with little
