Low concentrations of sodium fluoride significantly increase oxygen consumption and total phosphorylated nucleotides in respiring Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Measurements of gas exchange at several pH values indicate that the stimulation is probably related to the undissociated hydrogen fluoride concentration in the suspending media.
