The effects of gibberellic acid on photosynthetic pigments and oxygen evolution inChlamydomonas andAnacystis
- 1 Department of Biology, Science and Letters Faculty, University of Atatürk, Erzurum, Turkey
Gibberellic acid (GA3) generally increased the contents of chlorophyll but not carotenoid in bothChlamydomonas reinhardii andAnacystis nidulans grown under continuous irradiation. The photosynthetic oxygen evolution of the algae was also affected by GA3 except for the high (100 μM) concentration of GA3.
