SYNOPSIS. The effect of urethan on Poteriochromonas stipitata has been studied. Several concentration‐dependent activities of the drug could be discerned. Low concentration increased cell yields; certain slightly higher ones resulted in complete cessation of growth. Further increase of urethan concentrations interfered with the respiration of the organism and still higher concentrations disrupted the cells.
