The influence of nitrite and nitrate on chlorophyll fluorescence, a very sensitive indicator for the redox state of the primary accepter of photosystem IX of photosynthesis, was studied in green algae (several species of Chlorella, and Ankistrodesmu8 braunii). In phosphate solution under an atmosphe

In Chlorella, as in most photosynthetic organisms, the reduction of nitrate to ammonia proceeds sequentially in two independent and well characterized steps, catalyzed by the enzymes of the nitrate-reducing system: 1. the reduction of nitrate to nitrite by the fiavomolybdoprotein NADH-nitrate reduct
The pericarp of the dormant sugarbeet fruit acts as a storage reservoir for nitrate, ammonium and Ξ±-amino-N. These N-reserves enable an autonomous development of the seedling for 8-10 d after imbibition. The nitrate content of the seed (1% of the whole fruit) probably induces nitrate-reductase activ
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)-
