Abstract
Using a manometric technique 2 out of 5 strains of Chlorella tested gave a CO2 "burst" immediately on illumination after suitable pretreatment. Light intensity, CO2 partial pressure, o-phenanthroline and iodoacetamide had differential effects on steady state photosynthesis and on the "burst". Fluoride had no effect on the "burst" or photosynthesis. The influence of these factors on the "burst" and photosynthesis is compared with that on the initial CO2 uptake of higher plants.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
