The alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa has been grown in mass quantities on 94 at. % 13 CO 2 . The algal cells have been labeled to the 90 at. % 13 C level. Neither inhibition nor a requirement for adaptation was encountered; changes in morphology were not evident. A statistically significant increase in mass of cells produced in the presence of 13 CO 2 was observed.
