The CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) was induced in the green unicellular alga Chlorella when cells were transferred from high (5% CO2) to low (0.03%) CO2 concentrations. The induction of the CCM correlated with the formation of a starch sheath specifically around the pyrenoid in the chloroplast. W
In the presence of vanadium, growth of Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella pyrenoidosa was increased five to sixfold as determined by dry weight, when cultured under autotrophic conditions for 7 days. The stimulation by vanadium decreased with increasing stability towards hydrolysis of the iron(III)-
A green alga, Chlorococcum littorale, has a tolerance to extremely high-CO2 conditions (Kodama et al., J. Marine Biotech. 1 (1993) 21-25). In order to elucidate the mechanism underlying the resistance to such high CO2 levels, we compared the changes in excitation energy distribution between photosys
