The effect of low pH on growth and photosynthesis was compared in two strains of Chlorella isolated from symbiosis with Paramecium bursaria. One, 3N813A, releases large amounts of maltose at low pH; the other, NC64A, does not release maltose in culture. Maltose synthesis at low pH appeared to have a greater effect on cell growth than pH by itself. Growth of maltose-releasing 3N813A showed a direct relationship with pH; growth of non-maltose-releasing NC64A was reduced only as pH fell from 7.0 to 5.5. At pH 5.0, net photosynthetic capacity of 3N813A cells was reduced to 76% of controls at pH 7.0, but the specific growth constant (k) was reduced to 22%, and at pH 4.0 growth and nitrate uptake were inhibited. In 3N813A cells at pH 5.0, carbon (C) was diverted from cell growth, net chlorophyll synthesis, assimilation of nitrogen (N), and synthesis of protein and starch to maltose release, but C:N ratios were unchanged. In NC54A cells, starch but not protein synthesis was inhibited at pH 5.0, and a reduction i...
