Résumé

Nous avons déterminé les quantités d'acide désoxyribonucléique contenues dans les spermatozoïdes et les œufs vierges de l'ourisnParacentrotus lividus. Ces déterminations, faites au moyen d'une méthode microbiologique pour le dosage de la thymine, ont donné les résultats suivants: sperme 1,0 × 10−6, œuf environ 25 × 10−6 µg d'acide désoxyribonucléique par cellule.
