SYNOPSIS. Vorticellas were subjected to achromycin, polymyxin, and mixtures of penicillin-streptomycin to remove bacterial contaminants. Although achromycin and polymyxin were most effective in controlling bacteria isolated from vorticella cultures, they proved too toxic for practical use. However, certain dilutions of penicillin-streptomycin were tolerated by vorticellas and, therefore, were incorporated into the axenizing procedure. Yeasts did not yield to the antibiotics and had to be removed by washing and dilution. Sterile vorticellas were finally obtained by transfer of groups of individuals through 6 washes. One of these, the 4th, lasted 8 hours and contained diluted penicillin-streptomycin.
