“…Research exists which indicates that a variety of unicellular algae can exist both photoheterotrophically (Battley and Haditirto, 1968) and photoautotrophically in an atmosphere devoid of O2 (Orcutt et al, 1970;Seckbach et al, 1970;Stewart and Pearson, 1970;Kessler, 1974). In particular Nuhrenberg et al (1968) investigated the question of anaerobic growth in unicellular green algae.…”

Photoautotrophic growth of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was shown to be independent of the presence of atmospheric oxygen. Under constant light and photoautotrophic conditions, C. reinhardtii grew equally well in either air or 367 PPM CO2-in-He. During 12-h light-dark cycles, the cells in air grew substantially faster than those grown in CO2-in-He, indicating a significant role for O2 in dark metabolism. Although cells grown under CO2-in-He were not supplied any exogenous O2, photosynthetic water splitting resulted in the liberation of O2. The effect of photoevolved O2 on the growth of C. reinhardtii was examined (1) by measuring the amount of O2 consumed by photosynthesizing algae, (2) by growing the algae heterotrophically on acetate in the dark and supplied with O2 generated by photoautotrophically grown cells, and (3) by determining the minimum level of O2 needed to stimulate CO2 evolution from cells suspended in minimal medium supplemented with acetate. The results from these investigations indicated that exogenous O2 was not required for photoautotrophic growth by C. reinhardtii and that this alga grew in an anoxic environment if supplied with CO2 and light.

Effects of Hypobaric and Hyperbaric Helium Atmospheres on the Growth of Chlorella sorokiniana

Abstract: Growth of Chlorella sorokiniana is unaffected by the choice of atmospheric diluent gas. Reduced total pressure has no inhibitory effect and may be slightly stimulatory.
