SUMMARY Analysis of synchronous populations of Eudorina elegans Ehrenberg reveals that DNA replication occurs coincidentally with the very rapid sequence of cell divisions. The average doubling time for DNA in such synchronous populations is 40 min. The basal amount of DNA/E. elegans cell is estimated to be 0.5 × 10 −12 g.
