چکیده

The respiration of the green alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa, suspended in Knop's solution, has been studied in the dark as a function of time and of temperature. The rates of oxygen consumption and of carbon dioxide production (at constant temperature) decline for about 25 hours to a low, constant level. From an analysis of the curves it is suggested that two substances, A and B, are utilized, whose respiratory quotients are 1 and 0.65 respectively. The values of the temperature characteristics were found to be: for oxidation of A, 19,500 (0.6 to 11.5 degrees C.) and 3,500 (11.5 to 28 degrees C.); for oxidation of B, 5,600 (23.4 to 0.6 degrees C.).

Temperature Characteristics for Metabolism of Chlorella

The temperature characteristic for the rate of O(2) consumption by Chlorella pyrenoidosa suspended in Knop solution containing 1 per cent glucose was studied between 1 degrees and 27 degrees C. with the Warburg technic. The value of micro was found to be about 19,000 +/-1,000 cal. There is some indication of a critical temperature at 20 degrees C., with shift to a lower micro above this tempera...

Interactive Effects of Temperature and UV Radiation on Photosynthesis of Chlorella Strains from Polar, Temperate and Tropical Environments: Differential Impacts on Damage and Repair

Global warming and ozone depletion, and the resulting increase of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), have far-reaching impacts on biota, especially affecting the algae that form the basis of the food webs in aquatic ecosystems. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interactive effects of temperature and UVR by comparing the photosynthetic responses of similar taxa of Chlorella from Anta...

Effect of Chlorella vulgaris on lipid metabolism in Wistar rats fed high fat diet

This study was performed to investigate effects of Chlorella vulgaris on lipid metabolism in rats fed high fat diet. Sixty 6-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into two groups; normal diet group and high fat diet group, then the rats in each group were further divided into three subgroups and fed 0%, 5% and 10% (w/w) chlorella-containing diets, respectively, and raised for 9 weeks. Serum as...
