A reduction of the external redox potential from 343 mV (atmospheric 02 saturation) to 143 mV had only a slight effect on heavy metal uptake by whole cells of Chlorella fusca but caused an increased copper adsorption and a threefold increase of lead accumulation by isolated cell walls.

The formation of chlorophyll, cytochrome f, P-700, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase as well as photosynthesis and Hill reaction activities were tested during the light-dependent greening process of the Chlorella fusca mutant G 10. Neither chlorophyll nor protochlorophyllide was detected in the dark
The ratio of Chlorophyll: Cytochrome f and of Chlorophyll: P700 (reaction center pigment in photosystem I) is essentially lower in chlorophyll-deficient mutants than in the normal green strain. On a dry weight basis, the mutants have the same or a higher content of redox enzymes than the normal form
Short-term uptake of cadmium, copper and lead by whole cells, mother cell walls (mew) and cell walls from cell homogenates (hew) of Chlorella fusca were similar for all biosorbents: Adsorption equilibrium was reached five minutes after metal addition. Analogous, over 90% of the readily adsorbed met
