Summary

THE EFFECT OF ICE-NUCLEATING AGENTS ON NUCLEATING ACTIVITY WAS STUDIED BY THE USE OF NUCLEATORS FROM THE HEMOLYMPH OF FREEZE-TOLERANT E. BLANCHARDI BEETLES AND FROM THE CENTRAL FLUID OF THE ALPINE PLANT L. TELEKII. THE NUCLEATORS FROM THE PLANT WERE FOUND TO HAVE A HIGHER SPECIFIC ACTIVITY THAN THOSE FROM THE BEETLE. FOR SAMPLES CONTAINING NUCLEATORS WITH A GIVEN SPECIFIC ACTIVITY, THE CONTENT OF NUCLEATORS APPEARS TO BE THE PARAMETER WHICH DETERMINES ICE-NUCLEATING ACTIVITY.
