Popis: | The number and cross-sectional area of vacuoles in Chlorococcum littorale cells visualized with a differential interfer ence fluorescence microscope increased after their transfer from air to 40% CO2. An immunological observation indicated that the level of subunit B of vacuolar H*ATPase also increased under 40% CO2 conditions. The activity of nitrate-sensitive ATP-ase associated with the vacuolar membrane was 2–fold higher in 40% CO2--grown cells than in air-grown cells. The effects of inhi bitors on the ATPase activity confirmed that these activities were derived from vacuolar-type H-ATPase. These results sug gest that vacuole development associated with that of vacuolar H+-ATPase occurred during the acclimatization of C. littorale cells to extremely high CO2 conditions. |
