The colonial morphology and growth of Penicillium claviforme and P. clavigerum in manganese-deficient, defined medium, were examined with and without manganese supplementation. In unsupplemented medium rendered free of manganese through treatment with a chelating resin, P. claviforme grew but did not produce coremia. Similar results were obtained for P. clavigerum on media devoid of added manganese. However, when these media were supplemented with optimal concentrations of manganese both fungi produced coremia. The presence of manganese in various colony sections of P. claviforme was determined using neutron activation analysis. Maximal accumulation occurred in the conidia.

Gold has been determined in six marine sponges by neutron activation analysis. The amounts found (1·8–12·6 × 10−8 g/g dry sponge) are higher than would be expected from measurements of the distribution of 198Au between sea-water and dead sponge samples.Many attempts have been made to devise methods for concentrating gold from sea water, but none of them are commercially viable. Recent work has shown that gold can be concentrated by adsorption or absorption on certain artificial polymers (Hummel, 1957; Bowen, unpublished). This note describes some measurements of the accumulation of gold by marine sponges whose scleroprotein structure resembles some of the artificial polymers employed.
