## Abstract The relation between intracellular pH and the mitotic cycle of __Physarum polycephalum__ was studied by two independent techniques. Both techniques revealed a long term cycling of intracellular pH which has the same period as the mitotic cycle. Qualitative detection of the changes in in
Plasmodia of the true slime molds Physarum polycephalum and Physarum nudum were grown on agar semidefined medium (J. W. Daniel and H. Baldwin (1964) in Methods in Cell Physiology (Precsott, D. M., Ed.), Vol. 1, pp. 9-44, Academic Press, New York.) and pigments were extracted from 8-day-old plasmodia
We have previously reported that exposing the vegetative plasmodia stage of Physurum polycephulum to either individual or simultaneously applied electric and magnetic fields (45-75 Hz, 0.14-2.0 G, and 0.035-0.7 Vlm) lengthens their mitotic cycle, depresses their rate of reversible shuttle streaming,
