Popis: PHENANTHRAQUINONE has been shown by Powell1 to be an inhibitor of the growth of Twort carcinoma and by Jones2 as a potent inhibitor of root growth. In the course of similar work on the growth of cultures of Glaucoma pyriformis, it was observed that if a few drops of phenanthraquinone solution were added to a culture in a watch-glass, the individuals collected into aggregations which are clearly discernible, against a dark background, as circumscribed, whitish areas.
