Abstract
WE wish to describe methods for inducing cell division without mitotic nuclear division (amitosis) and nuclear division without cell division in the soil amoeba Acanthamoeba (= Hartmannella) rhysodes. We do this to demonstrate that A. rhysodes is a useful organism for the study of eukaryotic cell division.
