Abstract

AbstractThe correlation between photosynthesis and DCMU‐induced fluorescence increase has been studied in four species of unicellular green algae from inoculation of the cultures to the stationary growth phase. The fluorescence increase induced by DCMU was high in exponentially growing cultures but decreased when the cultures approached the stationary phase of growth. Because of the good correlation between photosynthesis and DCMU‐induced fluorescence increase, the fluorescence technique is a promising method for describing changes in photosynthetic capacities of algal populations in natural waters.
