Physiological changes accompanying the recovery of cell division in "giant" cells of Chlorella vulgaris (EMERSON strain)

LUONG VAN THINH and DILWYN J. GRIFFITHS

Botany Department, School of Biological Sciences, La Trobe University Melbourne, Australia

A homogeneous population of "giant" cells of the EMERSON strain of Chlorella vulgaris, produced following culture under carefully controlled conditions in a glucose medium in the dark, recovers its capacity to undergo cell division when returned to autotrophic conditions. A similar recovery also occurs after a prolonged period of culture in the dark. The division of the giant cells is accompanied, in each case, by marked pigment synthesis and a consequent recovery of photosynthetic capacity. Under autotrophic conditions the recovery of cell division and restoration of the full pigment concentration are complete within a 24 hr period. The recovery which takes place in a glucose medium in the dark occurs only after a period of 10–14 days growth.
