1. Various kinds of amino acids were added to the culturemedium and its effect on the growth of red alga,
Porphyra, were examined. From the results obtained the amino acids have been grouped as follows.
1) Highly promotive; L-arginine, DL-tryptophane, L-tyrosine, L-leucine.
2) Somewhat promotive; L-cystine, L-aspartate, L-threonine, L-phenylalanine, L-ornithine, L-lysine.
3) No effect; L-glutimate, L-alanine, L-Isoleucine, glycine, β-alanine.
2. The uptake of L-tyrosine, L-lysine, L-glutamate, urea or glucose by fronds was measured using
14C labeled compounds. Urea and the amino acids were incorpo-rated into the fronds during day light period and there appeared a close interaction of uptake and photosynthesis. However glucose was only incroporated during the dark period.
