Abstract

EVER SINCE the extensive studies by Warburg (1919, 1920) employing the unicellular green alga Chlorella, this organism has increasingly become the form favored for investigations of photosynthesis. However, it is proving evident that in the hands of different workers, the same and different strains of Chlorella exhibit varying levels of physiological behavior. Emerson and Green (1937, 1938) found diverse photosynthetic and catalytic activities for the two species, C. pyrenoidosa and C. vulgaris. The control data in the papers of Trelease and coworkers (1935, 1937, 1938) on C. vulgaris indicate differences in photosynthetic yield as compared with those of Emerson and associates (1937, 1938, 1939)
