| Abstract | The photosynthetic assimilation of radioactive carbon dioxide for two-minute periods by Scenedesmus has bee studied at temperatures ranging from 25° to 44° C. All labeled intermediates cease to be formed at about 45° C. With rising temperature, the radioactivity reaching the sugar phosphate reservoirs decreases regularly while there is a sharp maximum in sucrose at 37° C. and a less pronounced one in malic and aspartic acids about 40° C. A tentative interpretation of these effects is offered. | |
