Abstract
In contribution of previous work on the consequences of isotopic replacement in living organisms 1, the green alga Chlorella vulgaris has been grown on 13CO 2 (95% 13C) in 1H 2O and 2H 2O media. Cell size distribution was determined and the organisms subjected to cytochemical investigation for nucleic acids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and proteins. Some of the abnormalities noted in 13C 2H organisms are diminished in 13C 2H algae, indicating that the consequences of multiple isotope replacement in living organisms do not necessarily follow a simple additive relationship.
