โœฆ Synopsis

The effect of decreased oxygen concentration on photosynthetic biomass production was determined for Euglena gracilis Klebs strain z and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard. At a constant carbon dioxide concentration of 0.03% (v/v), decreasing the oxygen concentration from 21% to 2% (v/v) gave a two-fold increase in dry-weight yield for E. gracilis; a result consistent with the operation of a functional glycollate pathway in this alga. A similar effect of oxygen concentration on dry-weight yield was not observed with C. reinhardtii.

The photosynthetic quotients of the marine prymnesiophyte Pavlova lutheri and the marine dinoflagellate Glenodinum sp. were measured at different concentrations of dissolved oxygen and inorganic carbon. Dissolved oxygen concentration appeared to be the most important factor controlling the photosynt
