SUMMARY Two species of Chlorella, C. fusca and C. vannielii, manifest delay in cell development in synchronous cultures when gassed with air enriched with 1.5% vol. C0 2 or higher. This effect is greater if the final developmental steps proceed in the light rather than in the dark. Despite this, as much as 5% vol. CO 2 does not decrease the production of dry matter in continuous light. It is not unlikely that this action of CO 2 is restricted to cases in which nitrate serves as the only N source.
