Preliminary investigations on the effect of (2- chloroethyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CCC) on the metabolism of chlorella.
Abstract
Chlorella cultures were grown in light with low and high concentrations of (CCC) and the rate of growth . photosynthesis , respiaratiion, nitrate and nitrite assimilation were studied. CCC at low concentrations up to 6.3 x 10-6M, did onot have any effect on these processes where as at higher concentrations 0.5 x 10-4 to 0.5 to 10-2M, all these processes were affected differently. CCC brings about qualitative change in the soluble pool of the amino acids in treated cells of chlorella.
