OSTI ID:4758999

Research progress is reported on: the synthesis of compounds from C/sup 14/O/sub 2/ by Chlorella in the dark following preillumination; the effect of oxygen on the formation of glycolic acid and other products during photosynthesis by Chlorella; phosphatase action on phosphoglycolic, 3-phosphoglyceric, and phosphoenolpyruvic acids in spinach chloroplast fragments in the presence and absence of high concentrations of methanol; absorption spectra of scattering samples, evaluation of three different spectrophotometric techniques using Chlorella and scattered transmission spectra of spinach; the effect of sonication of spinach chloroplasts on photosynthetic phosphorylation; the occurrence of alpha , alpha -tocopherol and alpha -tocopherylquinone in chloroplasts and quantasomes; the effects of ultraviolet and gamma radiation on thymine in frozen aqueous solution and in the solid state; and a rapid method for the identification of small quantities of lipid-soluble vitamins and quinones in biological materials.
