Ultrasonic (high frequency/low intensity) stimulation of Chlorella vulgaris is shown to intensity population growth. Toe effect is caused by a change in the cellular membrane po tential as a result of increased permeability of the membrane; metabolic rate is thus determined by the cell's energy demand. It is suggested that sonication can be applied in biotech nological processes involving Chlorella.
