Abstract
IT is known that certain, chemical agents can influence the differentiation of the ectoderm and the entomeso-derm in the larva of the sea urchin. Thus certain acidic organic derivatives which carry sulphonic groups tend to favour the differentiation of ectodermic structures (animalization). The animalizing activity of these agents increases with their affinity for proteins1.
