NUCLEIC ACIDS IN SOME DEUTERATED GREEN ALGAE

Journal Article · · Science See Saiensu

In order to determine whether or not the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium in living organisms is accompanied by changes in amounts and distribution of the cellular components, a preliminary cytochemical investigation was made on deuterated Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus. Cytoplasmic ribonucleic acid was more widely distributed arid occurred in higher quantities in deuterated than in nondeuterated algae. Nuclei of deuterated cells were more irregular in shape, and mitotic figures appeared with greater frequency in the deuterated organisms. (auth)
