Abstract
IN the course of an investigation of the effect of manganese on nitrogen metabolism in Chlorella, limitations in growth of Chlorella due to lack of manganese have been obtained under autotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions of carbon nutrition with both nitrate and ammonium as nitrogen sources. In the recent report of Pirson and Bergmann1, it is stated that for Chlorella vulgaris, “manganese deficiency has no influence upon growth in heterotrophic culture in darkness”.
