The preparations were found to consist almost entirely of tubulin and to contain negligibly smallamounts of microtubule-associated proteins. This tubulin polymerizedto make microtubules of ordinary dimensions. The formed microtubules appear to be in labileequilibrium with free tubulin dimer at all temperatures observed. In a buffer consisting of 0.1 M 1, 4-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid, 2 mM dithioerythritol, 1 mM MgS04, 2 mM ethylene glycol bis (/3-aminoethyl ether)-i'V, 7V,,/V/, A7-tetraacetic acid, and 1 mM guanosine5'-triphosphate, pH 6.9, the tubulin of P. borchgrevinki has a critical concentration for assembly of 0.046 (^ 0.008) mg/mL at 35 C and 0.74 (±0.15) mg/mL at the habitat temperature of the fish,-1.8 C. The (deal concentration measured at the lower temperature is quite smallrelative to the critical concentration
