Effects of Acetaldehyde on Growth and Biosynthesis in an Algal Flagellate Polytomella caeca*
Authors:DONALD L WISE
Abstract:SYNOPSIS. Eight mM acetaldehyde prevented growth of Polytomella caeca in acetate medium and differentially changed the labeling by acetate-2-14C of chromatographically separated RNA hydrolysate products. Four mM acetaldehyde also prevented growth in acetate medium unless uridine, thymidine, guanosine, uracil, thymine or quanine were present; then growth was delayed by 2 or 4 days. Orotidine, orotic acid, dihydroortic acid, cytosine, cytidine, adenosine and adenine had no effect on growth in acetate medium containing 4 mM acetaldehyde. One mM acetaldehyde promoted growth in acetate medium and also could serve as a sole carbon source. One mM propionaldehyde, but not butyraldehyde, was also an adequate carbon source. Four mM acetaldehyde, as a sole carbon source, supported growth only when uridine was present.
