    Notes: The relationship between mitosis and cytoplasmic streaming in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum was investigated by simultaneously conducting the following three experiments: (1) identification of the mitotic stages under phase contrast optics, (2) measurement of the rate of oriented migration of the plasmodium on an agar ribbon, and (3) measurement of the motive force of cytoplasmic streaming by the double-chamber method of Kamiya.The migration of the plasmodium almost stopped during synchronous mitosis and the motive force of the flow decreased to 1/4 of the normal level in this period. Gelation of the endoplasm did not occur during the mitotic period, and thus the cessation of the plasmodial migration must have been caused by the diminution of the motive force responsible for cytoplasmic streaming.

    Artificial modification of the osmotic pressure of the plant cell (1956)

    Notes: Summary 1. When one end of an internodial cell ofNitella is brought in contact with water, and the other end with the solution of sucrose, transcellular osmosis takes place from water side to the sucrose side. 2. Accompanying transcellular osmosis, the cell sap on the water side is diluted and that on the sucrose side is concentrated. The magnitude of the polar change in sap concentration is dependent on the difference in osmotic pressure between the two external solutions. 3. By tying off an internodial cell ofNitella with strips of silk thread after inducing transcellular osmosis, it is possible to produce cells having arbitrary osmotic pressures within the range of as high as 3 times and as low as 1/4 the normal level. 4. The cells thus produced, which are in fact fragments of the mother internodial cell, can survive indefinitely. 5. The cell, whose osmotic pressure is abnormally high or low, has a marked tendency to be restored to its normal level. 6. The tendency to be restored to the normal osmotic pressure is maintained, if not fully, even when the import or export of solutes to/from the cell is prevented. 7. Turgor pressure of the cell plays no essential role in the osmoregulation.

    Studies on the velocity distribution of the protoplasmic streaming in the myxomycete plasmodium (1958)

    Notes: Summary It was shown that the velocity distribution of the intracapillary streaming of protoplasm in a plasmodium ofPhysarum polycephalum is the same no matter whether the flow is spontaneous or whether it is induced artificially by external local air pressure applied to the plasmodium. Thus we conclude that the protoplasmic flow in the plasmodium is caused by local difference in endoplasm pressure. The view that the seat of the motive force responsible for the flow is located in the streaming protoplasm itself is untenable for this type of streaming.

    Measurement of the motive force of the protoplasmic rotation inNitella (1958)
    Springer
    Protoplasma 50 (1958), S. 144-148

    Notes: Summary The present work is a first attempt at calculating the absolute amount of the motive force responsible for the rotational protoplasmic streaming. The calculation was made on the basis of the conclusion we arrived at previously through the analysis of intracellular velocity distribution, namely, that the active driving mechanism responsible for the rotational streaming is located at the interface between the cortical gel and the outer edge of the endoplasmic layer. The motive force, which is the shifting force generated at this interface, was determined in the internodal cell ofNitella flexilis to be within the range of 1–2 dynes/cm2 at room temperature.
