    Notes: Abstract Turbulence is known to enhance growth in microalgae. We studied the possible effects of the extra inorganic carbon supplied to the cultures when air bubbling is the source of turbulence. A set of experiments was carried out to separate the effects of the subsidiary action of agitation on growth from those due to possible carbon enrichment from air CO2 when air bubbling was the source of mixing. It was found that air bubbling does not induce an increase of the concentration of inorganic carbon in HCO 3 − -enriched growth media, and that no differences appear between air-bubbled and CO2-free air-bubbled cultures. On the other hand, photosynthetic O2 was accumulated in the medium in non-mixed cultures, which showed higher respiration and lower photosynthetic rates, probably due to photoinhibition induced by oversaturation of O2. Growth rate, maximal cell density and photosynthetic efficiency were higher in aerated cultures than in non-aerated ones.

    Notes: Abstract Photosynthetic oxygen production and PAM fluorescence measurements were used to follow photoinhibition in the red macroalga Porphyra umbilicalis. Exposure to simulated solar radiation caused inhibition of the effective photosynthetic quantum yield from which the thalli partially recovered in the shade in subsequent hours. There were no significant differences between samples exposed to unfiltered radiation and those exposed to radiation from which increasing portions of UV radiation had been removed indicating that the thalli are well adapted to current levels of solar PAR and UV radiation. This notion was supported by the finding of high concentrations of UV screening pigments which were even enhanced by exposure to increased UV radiation. However, when exposed to (only) UV radiation about 50% higher than that encountered by the organisms in their natural habitat, the photosynthetic yield decreased slowly and did not show any recovery even when the degree of inhibition did not exceed 10%.

    Notes: Abstract An in situ method for measuring nitrate reductase (NR) activity in Dunaliella viridis was optimized in terms of incubation time, concentration of KNO3, permeabilisers (1-propanol and toluene), pH, salinity, and reducing power (glucose and NADH). NR activity was measured by following nitrite production and was best assayed with 50 mM KNO3, 1.2 mM NADH, 5% 1-propanol (v/v), at pH 8.5. The estimated half-saturation constant (Ks) for KNO3 was 5 mM. Glucose had no effect as external reducing power source, and NADH concentrations 〉1.2 mM inhibited NR activity. Nitrite production was linear up to 20 min; longer incubation did not lead to higher nitrate reduction. The use of the optimized assay predicted the rate of NO 3 − removal from the external medium by D. viridis with high degree of precision.
