SYNOPSIS. Growth conditions for Chlorella variegata are described which permit induction of chlorosis in the light and partial development of the chloroplast in the dark. Growth in the light in the presence of Na acetate and NO −3 leads to chlorosis in the light. The presence of a reduced nitrogen source permits chlorophyll synthesis in the light, and, to a lesser extent, in the dark. Synthesis of NADP‐dependent triosephosphate dehydrogenase is directly correlated with chlorophyll synthesis and independent of illumination.
