    Notes: Actual laboratory data obtained from steady-state Dunaliella tertiolecta cultures grown under a wide range of photon flux densities were used in a simple model to calculate daily production in a conventional algal mass culture system. In spite of large physiological and biochemical variations between low-light- (LL) and high light- (HL) adapted cultures, the overall calculated daily productivity is almost identical for both strains grown at optimal conditions. When production of fine biochemicals is considered, however, a hypothetical HL strain, which cannot shade adapt, is advantageous. Based on biochemical and biophysical analysis of D. tertiolecta responses to growth irradiance levels, specific targets are defined for genetic manipulation to enhance productivity in algal mass culture systems. The targets identified are (1) amplification of the carboxylation enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase relative to the electron transport complexes, which should increase photosynthetic capacity at light saturation, and (2) enlargement of the light-harvesting complexes by varying their pigment composition in order to increase light harvesting at low photon flux densities.

    Notes: Laser microprobe mass spectrometry (LMMS) has been applied systematically to a variety of organic polyfunctional molecules, covering a wide range of structures and polarities. The microprobe generally offers a combination of desorption under relatively mild conditions with abundant fragmentation. We attempted an empirical approach by tentative hypotheses about desorption and ionization in LMMS to consistently rationalize the detected fragments. The complementary nature of structural data, carried by positive and negative ions, is characteristic for LMMS results of non-ionic compounds. The analysis of salts represents, traditionally, an ultimate test case for soft methods in organic mass spectrometry. Hence, by a selected series of compounds, we have tried to assess to which extent the presence of preformed ions becomes an asset for LMMS analysis and affects the amount, the accessibility or the distribution of organic information between positive and negative fragments.

    Notes: Laser microprobe mass spectrometry (LMMS) has been used to systematically study polyfunctional molecules, covering a wide range of structure and polarity. The knowledge about the mechanisms actually involved for desorption and ionization (DI) of organics by laser microbeam irradiation of solid samples at high-power density is rather limited. Therefore we have elaborated a set of tentative hypotheses about DI in LMMS, permitting consistent rationalization of detected signals. The technique apparently combines desorption under mild conditions, shown by the release of intact thermolabiles, with extensive fragmentation. Structural data are typically distributed between cations and anions. Interpretation of negative-ion detection mode mass spectra often represents intricate problems, partly due to the lack of sustaining background information from conventional mass spectrometry. Selected examples are presented to illustrate the occurrence of electron capture ionization, the role of heteroatoms in the formation of negative ions and the tendency to undergo complex skeletal rearrangements. Although LMMS was originally aimed at microprobe applications, it has been found to be a valuable tool in organic mass spectrometry.
