Abstract

AbstractIn order to elucidate the physiological mechanism of palmelloid formation of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas eugametos by chloroplatinic acid, the factors causing inhibition of the palmelloid formation were studied in various media. Chloroplatinic acid lost its palmelloid‐forming effect in the presence of nitrite ion and amines having a second functional group. Nitrate, potassium, and sodium ions and monofunctional amines were without influence on the effect of chloroplatinic acid. These results indicate that the active form of platinum (IV) may undergo ligand substitution, the resulting complex being unable to cause palmelloid formation.
