The Role Of Iron Nutrition In Regulating Patterns Of Photosynthesis And Nitrogen Metabolism In The Green Alga Scenedesmus Quadricauda, Dennis Raymond Ades
The Role Of Iron Nutrition In Regulating Patterns Of Photosynthesis And Nitrogen Metabolism In The Green Alga Scenedesmus Quadricauda, Dennis Raymond Ades
Dissertations and Theses
The influence of iron nutrition on patterns of photosynthetic behavior, nitrogen metabolism, and fixed-carbon allocation is reported for a common freshwater green alga. Cultures of Scenedesmus quadricauda were grown in Fraquil medium in which iron concentrations ranged from 1.0 μM to 0.01 μM (log 10-6 to 10-8 M, respectively). Carbon 14 and nitrogen uptake experiments were conducted at photosynthetically saturating and subsaturating photon flux densities.
