Abstract

Ribonuclease activity in Physarum polycephalum increased rapidly after the addition of mannitol for spherule induction. Most of the 12 ribonuclease isoenzymes detected by the gel isoelectric focusing technique increased, whereas one isoenzyme disappeared during spherulation. It is suggested that the rise in ribonuclease activity depends on protein synthesis de novo since it was prevented by cycloheximide.
