Abstract
Auto complex coacervates are described as refringent spherical bodies, made up of a central core of phenolic compounds (notably pyridoxin) coated with a film of phospholipids, and floating in the vacuolar soln. Coacervation, as observed in cells of sugar cane affected by the virus of "chlorotic streak" or of grape vine affected by the virus of Pierce''s disease, as well as coacervation experimentally induced by chemicals apt to block some components of the respiratory system, may be correlated with a shift of the respiratory system towards a higher rH.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
