Carotenoid Absorption

Action spectra for delayed light production by several algae were determined from 250 to 750 mµ incident light. In the visible portion of the spectrum the action spectra resemble those reported by previous workers for photosynthesis and light emission. Blue-green algae had a maximum at 620 mµ, red algae at 550 mµ, whereas green and brown algae have action spectra corresponding to chlorophyll and carotenoid absorption. In the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum delayed light is emitted by algae down to 250 mµ incident light. The action spectra of the different algae are not alike in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum. This indicates that pigments other than chlorophyll must be sensitizing or shielding the algae in the ultraviolet region.

Light Production

1. Blue-green algae, red algae, and purple bacteria all show the emission of delayed light. 2. The action spectra for the production of delayed light by three species of blue-green algae have one broad band with a peak at 620 mµ. 3. The action spectrum for production of delayed light by the red algae has one peak at 550 mµ with a shoulder from 600 to 660 mµ. 4. The emission spectra of the delayed light from both the blue-green and red algae were the same as from the green algae, Chlorella. 5. The action spectra for the production of delayed light by the different species of purple bacteria tested consisted of one or more bands not resolved between 800 and 900 mµ. 6. The emission spectrum of the delayed light from the purple bacteria was largely at wave lengths longer than 900 mµ.

Quadrat Sampling

The diversity and community structure of macroalgae at Koh Taen, Haad Khanom-Mu Koh Tale Tai, marine National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand were investigated from 1st- 5th October 2005 (preliminary survey). Out of a total of 41 species: 15 species each of green and red algae, 9 species of brown algae and 2 species of blue green algae were found. In the area, subsequently four sites were established for monitoring. Quadrat sampling was employed to assess the abundance of macroalgae. In total sixty quadrats were monitored each month from October 2005 to April 2007. We report the variations of diversity and abundance of macroalgae among sites and seasons and speculate about what might cause such variations.

Cellular Components

Electron microscopic observations of freeze-fracture replicas of Anabaena cells obtained by the procedures described by Bullivant and Ames (J. Cell Biol., 1966) indicate that the frozen cells are fractured in many different planes. This fracturing or cleaving along various planes allows one to gain a three dimensional relation of the cellular components as a result of such a manipulation. When replicas that are obtained by the freeze-fracture method are observed in the electron microscope, cross fractures of the cell wall and membranes that comprise the photosynthetic lamellae are apparent as demonstrated in Figures 1 & 2.A large portion of the Anabaena cell is composed of undulating layers of cytoplasm that are bounded by unit membranes that comprise the photosynthetic membranes. The adjoining layers of cytoplasm are closely apposed to each other to form the photosynthetic lamellae. Occassionally the adjacent layers of cytoplasm are separated by an interspace that may vary in widths of up to several 100 mu to form intralamellar vesicles.
