Summary The effect of Cobalt-II-nitrate was tested on the marine green algaAcetabularia. Application of Co immediately stopped regeneration as well as synthesis of cytoplasmic proteins. Later on a decrease of the protein contents was observed. Without affecting the size of the nucleus, Co caused a reduction of the nucleolar size and shape within 4 days. By histochemical methods, Co was found to be stored in the nucleus and nucleolus. However, it is not clear whether the Co was already boundin vivo. Size and distribution of the polyphosphate bodies were not changed within 6 days. No storage of Coin vivo could be observed within the polyphosphates.
