✦ Synopsis

Methods are described for the isolation and testing of temperature-sensitive plasmodial strains of Physarum polycephalum. Nineteen temperature-sensitive strains were found by screening plasmodia derived from mutagenised amoebae and the properties of these are described. A scheme is outlined for the detection of specific mitotic cycle lesions amongst temperature-sensitive strains, and the properties of a presumptive mitotic cycle mutant are described.

Microplasmodia of P. polycephalum were grown either in batch culture, in both complex and defined media to give a 3-4 fold variation in growth rate, or in a chemostate. The protein/DNA ratio of batch cultures was almost invariant, whilst the RNA/DNA ratio increased as a non-linear function of growth

## 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
