13. Isolation of Intact Chloroplasts from Dunaliella tertiolecta1
Cells of Dunaliella tertiolecta from the log phase of growth were broken by rapid extrusion at low pressure through a Yeda press and the chloroplasts were isolated by centrifugation through a Percoll gradient. Osmolarity of the growth media, the suspending media, and the Percoll gradient was kept identical to minimize change in chloroplast volume and mitocho

14. Isolation of Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate Reductase from Dunaliella Chloroplasts and Comparison with Isozymes from Spinach Leaves 1
A dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) reductase has been isolated in 50% yield from Dunaliella tertiolecta by rapid chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The activity was located in the chloroplasts. The enzyme was cold labile, but if stored with 2 molar glycerol, most of the activity was restored at 30°C after 20 minutes. The spinach (Spinacia olera

15. Differential Effects of Nitrogen Limitation on Photosynthetic Efficiency of Photosystems I and II in Microalgae.
The effects of nitrogen starvation on photosynthetic efficiency were examined in three unicellular algae by measuring changes in the quantum yield of fluorescence with a pump-and-probe method and thermal efficiency (i.e. the percentage of trapped energy stored photochemically) with a pulsed photoacoustic method together with the inhibitor 3-(3,4-dichlorophen

16. System Development for Linked-Fermentation Production of Solvents from Algal Biomass
Five species of the genus Dunaliella (D. tertiolecta, D. primolecta, D. parva, D. bardawil, and D. salina) were examined for glycerol accumulation, growth rate, cell density, and protein and chlorophyll content. The suitability of each algal species for use as a fermentation substrate was judged according to glycerol accumulation and quantities of neutral so

17. Uptake and Metabolism of 2,2-bis-(p-Chlorophenyl-1,1,1-trichloroethane (DDT) by Marine Phytoplankton and Its Effects on Growth and Chloroplast Electron Transport 1
The effects of DDT (2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl)-1, 1, 1-trichloroethane) on the growth of seven marine phytoplankters, representative of five algal divisions, were studied. At a concentration of 80 parts per billion (0.23 μm) DDT, growth of Dunaliella tertiolecta was unaffected, and there was slight, if any, influence on the development of Cyclotella nana, Tha

18. Light—Shade Adaptation 1: TWO STRATEGIES IN MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON
Using chlorophyll/P700 ratios, the size and number of photosynthetic units were estimated, as a function of light-shade adaptation in two species of marine phytoplankton: Skeletonema costatum, a diatom, and Dunaliella tertiolecta, a chlorophyte. In the diatom, light-shade adaptation is characterized primarily by changes in the size and not the number of P700

19. Predicting Production in Light-Limited Continuous Cultures of Algae
Equations relating productivity, growth rate, cell concentration, and light absorption lead to the prediction that, when incident light is below saturating intensity, maximal productivity will occur at half the maximal growth rate. The freshwater alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa TX71105 and the marine alga Dunaliella tertiolecta were grown in a small continuous cu

20. Annual Cycle of Bacterial Specific Biovolumes in Howe Sound, a Canadian West Coast Fjord Sound
The mean specific biovolumes (biovolume cell−1) of the bacterioplankton within a 250-m-deep water column in Howe Sound, British Columbia, were determined for the period of 4 September 1984 to 23 October 1985. These bacteria had an annual cycle in mean specific biovolume; they were small (ca. 0.058 μm3) in mid-winter, larger in spring (ca. 0.076 μm3), lar

21. Attached and Free-Floating Bacterioplankton in Howe Sound, British Columbia, a Coastal Marine Fjord-Embayment
Factors which influence the attachment of bacterioplankton to particles (including phytoplankton) were investigated by using (i) water samples removed from a coastal temperate fjord over an annual cycle and (ii) unialgal cultures of Prorocentrum minimum, Dunaliella tertiolecta, and Skeletonema costatum. Silt and salinity levels in this fjord seawater did not

22. Free Ammonia Inhibition of Algal Photosynthesis in Intensive Cultures †
The effect of free NH3 inhibition on short-term photosynthesis was investigated in three microalgal species: the freshwater chlorophyte Scenedesmus obliquus, the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum and the marine chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta. By performing a series of assays at various concentrations of added NH4Cl and culture pH, we demonstrated t

23. Effects of Growth Irradiance Levels on the Ratio of Reaction Centers in Two Species of Marine Phytoplankton 1
Cells of two species of single-celled marine algae, the diatom Skeletonema costatum (Greve), Cleve, and the chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher, were cultured in white light of high (500-600 microeinsteins per square meter per second) and low (30 microeinsteins per square meter per second) intensity. For both algal species, cells grown at low light le

24. Light intensity regulation of cab gene transcription is signaled by the redox state of the plastoquinone pool.
The eukaryotic green alga Dunaliella tertiolecta acclimates to decreased growth irradiance by increasing cellular levels of light-harvesting chlorophyll protein complex apoproteins associated with photosystem II (LHCIIs), whereas increased growth irradiance elicits the opposite response. Nuclear run-on transcription assays and measurements of cab mRNA stabil
