%X Allomyces macrogynus plants were induced to make either zoosporangia in distilled water or resistant sporangia in a solution of glucose and glutamic acid. Analyses during the stages of developmentJ showed that plants of both series degraded nucleic acid, releasing uracil, hypoxanthine and guanin~ to the suspending medium. Plants in distilled water released inorganic phosphate to the medium while those in glucose-glutamic acid solution conserved the phosphate as bound phosphate. A. arbuscula also released the purines and pyrimidines.
