The heat output of the plant cells-Chlorella vulgaris has been determined using the LKB-2277 bloactivity monitor. The metabolic thermokinetic equation isdP/t = k0, k0 = 0The experimental results indicate that there is a linear relationship between the meatbolic power and the cell concentration and that the heat output produced by a single cell’s metabolism depends oll the cell concentration and is inhibited by the increase of the cell density. It presents a special kind of space effect.
The Studies on the adhesion behaviour of bacterial and algae and its ecological significance have been reviewed in this paper. All research indicated that the adhesion processes of bacterial and algae involved an instantaneous reversible Phase and a time-dependent irreversible phase. The adhesion behaviour is basically controled by physico-chemical and biological forces and influenced by various environmental factors. The adhesion behaviour of bacterial and algae has important in freshwater ecosystem and its ecological significance implication is discussed in detail in the end.
