SYNOPSIS.Glaucoma chattoni strain A has been grown in the chemically defined medium previously used for Colpidium campylum and Tetrahymena pyriformis. It was necessary to modify the amino acid, nucleotide and other components of the medium in order to obtain optimum growth. The modified medium contained 17 amino acids, nucleic acid components, fatty acids, stigmasterol, sodium acetate, a mixture of B‐vitamins and several inorganic salts.
