SYNOPSIS. Erythromycin bleaches Euglena gracilis in a manner resembling that of streptomycin. Erythromycin‐bleached substrains have been cultivated 16 months in light on erythro‐mycin‐free media without greening. Bleached substrains were obtained only if erythromycin was added to actively growing cultures: erythromycin did not bleach if added during the stationary phase of growth of green cultures.
