Excretion of Glycolate, Mesotartrate and Isocitrate Lactone by Synchronized Cultures of Ankistrodesmus braunii.
Fixation of (14)CO(2) by synchronized cultures of Ankistrodesmus braunii was highest for young growing cells, low for mature cells, and lowest for dividing cells. The amount of (14)C excreted during photosynthesis followed the same trend. Cells at the end of the growing phase, after 10 hours of a 16-hour light phase, excreted nearly 35% of the total (14)C fixed as one product, glycolate. Dividi...
متن کاملGlycolate pathway in algae.
No glycolate oxidase activity could be detected by manometric, isotopic, or spectrophotometric techniques in cell extracts from 5 strains of algae grown in the light with CO(2). However, NADH:glyoxylate reductase, phosphoglycolate phosphatase and isocitrate dehydrogenase were detected in the cell extracts. The serine formed by Chlorella or Chlamydomonas after 12 seconds of photosynthetic (14)CO...
متن کاملSequence of Formation of Phosphoglycolate and Glycolate in Photosynthesizing Chlorella pyrenoidosa.
In Chlorella pyrenoidosa which have been photosynthesizing in either 1.5% (14)CO(2) or 0.05% (14)CO(2) in air, gassing with 100% O(2) results in rapid formation of phosphoglycolate which is apparently converted to glycolate. However, only about one-third to one-half of the rate of glycolate formation can be accounted for by this route. The remaining glycolate formation may be the result of the ...
متن کاملChanges in Chlorophyll a/b Ratio and Products of '4C02 Fixation
Sutmmary. Chlamydomonas and Chlorella were grown for 10 davs in white light. 955 Uw/cm2 blue light (400-500 m,u) or 685 Juw/cm2 red light (above 600 mb). Rates of growth in blue or red light were initially slow, but increased over a period of days until normal growth rates were reestablished. During this adaptation period in blue light, total chlorophyll per volume of algae increased 20 % while...
متن کاملCoralline red algae from the Lower Pliocene Shagra Formation of Wadi Wizer, Red Sea coast, Egypt: Biofacies analysis, systematics and palaeoenvironmental implications
Coralline red algae are highly abunadant and well diversified in the well exposed carbonate deposits of the Lower Pliocene Shagra Formation at Wadi Wizer, Red Sea coast, Egypt. Lithostratigraphically, the Shagra Formation unconformably overlies the Late Miocene Marsa Alam Formation and underlies the Quaternary deposits. This carbonate facies is dominated by different assemblage of coralline red...
