abstract: Eller, Charles (St. John's University, Jamaica, N.Y.), and William H. Beckert. Nitrogen dioxide fixation in bacterial chromatin studies. J. Bacteriol. 90:1710-1712. 1965.-Satisfactory chromatin staining was obtained with two Bacillus species when nitrogen dioxide was used for fixation in conjunction with either the acid Giemsa or Feulgen staining methods. An impression method was employed for the transfer of bacilli to a new environment as well as for smears. Advantages of nitrogen dioxide fixation are discussed.
