A combined method, that allows measuring glycogen and DNA contents in one of the same cell, was applied for quantitative determination of these in mono- and binucleate hepatocytes with different ploidy obtained from adult rats. The mean glycogen content was shown to increase proportionally to the genome number within the changes of the hepatocyte ploidy from 2 to 8c.
The relative DNA content of isolated Amoeba proteus nuclei has been measured by cytofluorometry. With the amoeba strain studied, the generation time is roughly equal to 48 hours at 25 degrees C, and with the presence of food in the medium. After the synchronous divisions, amoebae were maintained in the medium either with or without food organisms (Tetrahymena pyriformis). DNA contents in the nuclei of both the amoebae groups were measured within 4 and 48 hours after division. Before 16 hours, the nuclear DNA contents did not differ in either group. Starting from 20 hours, the DNA amount in fed amoebae exceeded that in starved animals. On the whole, the differences in DNA quantity increased by a 48th hour after division, when the nuclei of the former contained 145% DNA of the latter. The results obtained suggest that the DNA synthesis in amoeba nuclei may proceed during the whole interphase, and that during the second half of interphase the content of DNA may depend on the feeding intensity in amoebae. After refeeding the starved animals, DNA contents in their nuclei increased to reach the same level as in the constantly fed amoebae seen in the end of interphase.

Various analogs of devices recording the fluorescence intensity of tissues directly in the body chambers (fluorescent endoscopes/photometers, microfluorometers for investigation of biopsies and intraoperative probes) are described.
Changes in the DNA content were studied in the spores of Streptoverticillium mycoheptinicum. The content of DNA increased in the spores when they were incubated in a liquid nutrient medium at 28 degrees C for 5 hours. Changes in the DNA content during germination of spores corresponded to individual stages: at the stage of activation, the replication of DNA only commenced; at the stage of initiation, the content of DNA doubled in the majority of spores in the population. The rate of DNA synthesis varied among different spores of the actinomycete.
