The primary objective of this thesis is to study, characterize
and compare four types of Scenedesmus obliquus pigment mutants with
the wild-type strain. The specific nature of the carotenoids synthesized
in both heterotrophically and myxotrophically-grown cells, Hill
reaction activity, photoreduction activity, and total photosynthetic
activity of these cells are examined....
