Abstract

The effect of Ca on growth and morphology of two strains of Golenkinia minutissima was investigated. Growth occurred in the absence of Ca in the culture medium. Calcium promoted growth as measured by cell numbers, fresh weight, and dry weight and also was required for seta formation. Lower cellular content of Ca and K and higher cellular content of Na resulted from Ca deficiency in G. minutissima and Chlorella pyrenoidosa. The relationship of Ca to growth, cell morphology, and transport of K and Na is discussed.
