INDUCTION OF CONJUGATION BY CELL-FREE PREPARATIONS IN PARAMECIUM MULTIMICRONUCLEATUM.
A cell-free preparation composed mainly of cilia, obtained by treatment with K(2)Cr(2)O(7) from stocks of Paramecium multimicronucleatum (syngen 2) pure for mating type, can regularly induce conjugation in intact animals of the opposite mating type.
