Abstract
The toxicity of these compounds was determined in the amoebae and plasmodia. An electron microscopic study shows an increase in nuclear size which is in agreement with the increase of the total amount of DNA. Microtubules are present but they are not organized in a normal mitotic apparatus. Some other nuclear abnormalities are described.
