| Method |
P.180 left column 2nd paragraph: "At the end of the growth phase, 1 ml of the culture was fixed in an equal volume of glutaraldehyde (4% in phosphate buffer pH 7) and stored at 4˚C. The length and the largest breadth of the ciliates were measured using a camera lucida by projecting the picture of the cell onto calibrated scale. Cells were assumed to be ellipsoidal and the volume (V) was calculated from the equation V = 4/3×π×a^2×c×10^-3 (where a = breadth/2 = depth/2 and c =length/2, all of them in µm and V in 10^3µm^3) after Curds and Cockburn (1971). For each concentration of cadmium, three means of 50 cells, chosen randomly in three different cultures, were calculated." |
