Abstract

Effects of light intensity and irradiation time on respiration rate in the dark period after irradiating are discussed. The specific respiration rate of S. platensis in the dark is a constant value Q1, up to 15-30 minutes, and then rapidly decreases to Q2 after 30 minutes. The specific respiration rate Q1 increases with light intensity. No significant effect of Q1 on irradiation time and Q2 on light intensity is observed. The respiration rate for a long dark time, Q0 (= 1.2 mg-O2·kg-Spirulinct-1·s-1), is almost the same as Q2. The effect of the logarithmic mean light intensity I1m [k1x] on Q1 is described by the following equation.<BR>Q1-Q0=13I1m/15+I1m
