Bones from 7-day-old chick embryos were cultivated over a nutrient
chemical medium. Two bones were available from each chick, and the
experiment was set out in a balanced incomplete block design with two
units per block. The treatments were growth in the complete medium,
with about 30 nutrients in carefully controlled quantities, and growth
in five other media, each with a single amino acid omitted. Thus His-,
Arg-, and so forth denote media without particular amino acids.References
