SYNOPSIS. The synthesis of chlorophyll by chlorotic cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardi is stimulated by a utilizable carbon source. This synthesis is almost completely inhibited by cycloheximide in concentrations as low as 0.50 μg/ml. The period of chloroplast development during which stimulation by carbon source and inhibition by cylcoheximide are most effective corresponds to a period of rapid formation of chloroplast lamellae.
