Popis: An 8-h exposure to cycloheximide (0.1 μg/ml) delays the phase of the photosynthesis rhythm 6–14 h in individual Acetabularia cells monitored at 25 °C, providing the drug is present during the first half of a cell's circadian cycle. Puromycin pulses (50 μg/ml) are like cycloheximide in their effect on phase, but chloramphenicol (100 μg/ml) is ineffective. These results indicate that protein synthesis on 80S ribosomes provides a necessary component for the biochemical mechanism of circadian regulation in Acetabularia.
