Abstract
SYNOPSIS. Light‐dependent incorporation of acetate occurs in an obligate phototrophic strain of Euglena gracilis (strain L). Assimilation is into all major biochemical fractions. Acetate does not induce operation of the glyoxylate by‐pass as it does in heterotrophic strains; neither does it stimulate oxygen consumption. Acetate will not replace CO2 in phototrophic growth. A number of carbon sources tested would not support growth in the dark, and glucose was not incorporated either in the light or the dark.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
