Abstract
IN recent years the indispensability of small quantities of carbon dioxide for the growth of very diverse heterotrophic cells has been amply demonstrated. For a fairly recent survey of literature, reference may be made to the paper of Gladstone, Fildes and Richardson1. Until now, however, no explanation has been given for this unexpected phenomenon.
