Plasma membrane ferric reductase activity was enhanced 5‐fold under iron limitation in the unicellular green alga Chlorella kessleri Fott et Nováková. Furthermore, ferric reductase activity in iron‐limited cells was approximately 50% higher in the light than in the dark. In contrast, iron uptake rates of iron‐limited cells were unaffected by light versus dark treatments. Rates of iron uptake were much lower than rates of ferric reduction, averaging approximately 2% of the dark ferric reduction rate. Ferric reduction was associated with an increased rate of O2 consumption in both light and dark, the increase in the light being approximately 1.5 times as large as in the dark. The increased rate of O2 consumption could be decreased by half by the addition of catalase, indicating that H2O2 is the product of the O2 consumption and that the increased O2 consumption is nonrespiratory. The stimulation of O2 consumption was almost completely abolished by the addition of bathophenanthroline disulfonate, a strong chelator of Fe2+. Anaerobic conditions or the presence of exogenous superoxide dismutase affected neither ferric reduction nor iron uptake. We suggest that the O2 consumption associated with ferric reductase activity resulted from superoxide formation from the aerobic oxidation of Fe2+, which is the product of ferric reductase activity. At saturating concentrations of Fe3+ chelates, ferric reductase activity is much greater than the iron uptake rate, leading to rapid oxidation of Fe2+ and superoxide generation. Therefore, O2 consumption is not an integral part of the iron assimilation process.
