Abstract

SUMMARY

Ribose mononucleotides accelerated morphogenesis in at 10 M and above; equimolar purines, pyrimidines, ribose, phosphate, ribose-5-phosphate and nucleosides either slowed morphogenesis or had no effect; 5′-GMP, 5′-UMP and 5′-CMP were about as effective as AMP. The position of attachment of the phosphate to the ribose moiety was not critical; 3′,5′-cyclic mononucleotides influenced chemotaxis and accelerated morphogenesis.
