✦ Synopsis


Chlorella vulgaris growing with ammonium nitrate as nitrogen source utilises nil of the ammonium-N before nitrate begins to be assimilated. We have attempted to analyse this phenomenon and have shown that the assimilation of ammonium in some way inhibits nitrate reduction (SYnETT and ~oRt~Is 1963). In this paper a second effect of ammonium is established and discussed, namely the repression, by ammonium, of the development of nitrate reductase activity.

## Background: The uptake of nitrate by phytoplankton is a central issue in biological oceanography due to its importance to primary production and vertical flux of biogenic carbon. Nitrate reductase catalyzes the first step of nitrate assimilation, the reduction of NO 3 to NO 2 . A cytometric prot
