✦ Synopsis

Ethanolic dehydration (20% to 70%) of the thylakoid membranes of Chlorogloeopsis fritschii resulted in an 8% to 58% loss of glutamine synthetase activity. In Chlorella pyrenoidosa, hydroxypyruvate reductase and fumarase, marker enzymes of the peroxisomes and mitochondria, respectively, diffused from the organelles on dehydration.
