Excerpt from List of Publications and Patents of the Northern Regional Research Laboratory, Peoria, Illinois: January-June 1952 In the primitive slime molds belonging to the genulictoystelium, stalk forma° tion is accomplished by the extracellular deposition of cellulose to form a tube or mold, within which entrapped myxamoebae differentiate into a pith=like tissue. Since the cellulosic stalk wall is formed extracellularly, rather than intrao cellularly as in all higher plant forms, these organisms should provide excep tional favorable material for investigating the phenomenon of cellulose formation and deposition; Tests which indicate that the building material is cellulose include staining reactions solubilities, birefringence with polarized light, Keray diffraction pattern, presence of glucose upon acid hydrolysis, and attack by cellulolytic bacteria.
