摘要
Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were used to evaluate the effect of temperature on photoinhibition in Spirulina platensis cultures grown in tubular reactors outdoors. Cultures grown at 35-degrees-C during the day time showed a lower reduction in the Fv/Fm ratio as compared to cultures grown at 25-degrees-C. It is demonstrated that the lower temperature photoinhibited cells can undergo a complete recovery once transferred to low light and higher temperature. This recovery does not take place when 100 mug ml-1 chloramphenicol is added to cells. The recovery is light dependent and cells incubated in the dark at low temperature do not show a recovery in the Fv/Fm ratio. The data presented strongly support the hypothesis that photoinhibition takes place in outdoor Spirulina cultures. At the same time it is demonstrated that fluorescence measurements can be used as a fast reliable indication for photoinhibition in outdoor algal cultures.
