Notes:
Based on the hypothesis that discharge mechanisms are induced in highly illuminated thylakoid, we analyze an applied model, which overcomes the damage induced by outdoor solar radiation, partially shaded, air-bubbled, or stirred blue-green algae cultures. The blue-green alga, Oscillatoria sp., exhibits a maximum growth rate at a radiation intensity of 50 J/m2sec. The introduction of 0.1 sec dark periods shifts this peak up to 75 J/m2sec. The radiationless nature of the discharge mechanisms is discussed in accord with the low growth rates of both the experimental and control cultures at 40°C.
