D/sub 2/0 was used to study the synthesis of viral nucleic acid and cellular lipids. Deuteration of bacterial and mammalian cells resulted in increascd size and an altered lipid profile. Infection of Escherichia coli with phages T5 and T7 resulted in the production of increased amounts of T7. Such increases were appearently a function of deuteration in the life cycle of the virus. Similarly, the HeLa cell, maintained in tissue culture, produced increased amounts of polio virus when cells were deuterated. (H.H.D.)
