                            XYTRONYX, INC. ANNOUNCES 
                     RESULTS OF SPECIAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING

SAN DIEGO, CA, April 1, 1996 -- Xytronyx, Inc. (AMEX: XYX) reported that its
stockholders voted to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's
Common Stock from 15 million shares to 30 million shares.  The vote was taken at
a special stockholder meeting held March 28, 1996.

The Company reported that the change in the authorized number of outstanding
shares has no impact on the number of shares of Common Stock currently
outstanding.  The authorized number of shares represents the total shares the
Company has the authority to issue if it elects to issue additional shares in
the future.

The Company expects to file an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to
amend the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 30 million to reflect
the action taken by the stockholders.
