Abstract
PREVIOUS studies1 have revealed a relationship between the distribution of intracellular and extracellular ribonucleases and the phase of growth of Staphylococcus aureus strain Duncan. The difficulty of distinguishing between intracellular and extracellular enzymes precludes similar studies on animal tissues, but it was considered desirable to examine such enzymes in the ascites tumour, where separation of cells and ascitic fluid presents no difficulty.
