Abstract

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.
