Abstract
Diurnal changes in O2 evolution from the fronds of a brown alga, S. pacificum, under light and dark conditions were investigated. The O2 outputs from algal fronds harvested at the natural habitat changed rhythmically during day and night. They showed similar rhythmical patterns even under continuous light or dark temporary culture after harvest, except for slight retardations of their maxima and minima.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
