IN a previous communication1 the presence of an inhibitor of cytochrome oxidase in the unfertilized sea urchin egg was described. It was shown that its activity decreases considerably following fertilization, that it is a low-molecular compound, that it is heat- and alkali-labile and that its action is of a competitive type.
