On the Dark Metabolism of a Golden-Brown Alga, Ochromonas malhamensis

Kinetic Relationships Between Photosynthesis and Respiration in the Algal Flagellate, Ochromonas Malhamensis.

“…The respiratory quotient ( + C02/-02) Would (9) and by Weis (14) and dark metabolism was studied by Reazin (11). The ability of this flagellate to carry out photoreduction was investigated by Vishniac and Reazin (12).…”

Physiological studies of phototrophy and heterotrophy in two algae with contrasting nutritional characteristics, Pyrenomonas salina (Cryptophyceae) and Poterioochromonas malhamensis (Chrysophyceae)

“…8). Reazin (1954) has previously demonstrated that oxygen uptake by P . malhamensis in the presence of glucose was pH-dependent.…”

The Metabolism of Glucose by the Alga Ochromonas malhamensis.

“…In the absence of arsenite, only 18 % of the glucose carbon used was recovered in the products listed in table V. In the presence of 2.5 x 10-3 M sodium arsenite, the carbon recovery was increased to 34 %. This cose-i-C14 was oxidized in the presence of arsenite, the tracer was found in the methyl carbon atom of pyruvic acid.…”

“…1 Received March 20,1956 (13,18,20) the suspension mixture contained vitamins and salts. In the present experiments, however, it was found that the results were similar if either phosphate buffer or salt mixture was used.…”
