Abstract:The cell division of a red tide flagellate, Chattonella antiqua,was synchronously induced under light and dark regimes of 10L14D(a light period, L, for 10 h followed by a dark period, D, for14 h), 12L12D and l4L10D. In all regimes cell number began toincrease ca. 14 h after the onset of L and almost doubled duringone LD cycle. When the light-off timing of the last L was changedor the whole L was shifted, cells that had been synchronizedunder 12L12D invariably began to divide ca. 14 h after the onsetof L. This shows that the timing of cell division was determinedby the time of the onset of L. When cells were continuously exposed to light after a cell division,the subsequent cell division was inhibited. This effect waslimited to cells that had been synchronized under short-dayconditions. Thus it can be concluded that light has both inductive and inhibitoryeffects on cell division in this alga, the latter effect dependingupon the previously given light and dark regimes.
