โฆ Synopsis
Synchronous cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardii have been examined for the total amounts of carotenoid and chlorophyll present throughout a 12 hrs light-4hrs dark life cycle. Variations in the carotenoid distribution at different points within the cell cycle have been found. During the greater part of the light period all major carotenoids increased at a proportionally similar rate. However, the increases in lutein and violaxanthin preceded those in /?-carotene and neoxanthin by some 2 hrs and that in loroxanthin, an algal xanthophyll, by about 3 hrs. A marked drop in total carotenoid
