Abstract
Adhesion of the zoospores of the green alga Chlorococcum minutum Starr CALU 746 to the substrate surface is a prerequisite for their further differentiation into the vegetative cells. This process depends on pr otein synthesis and is accompanied by increased synthesis of a 30-kD p olypeptide. The zoospores excrete an autoregulatory factor to the medi um that stimulates 30-kD polypeptide synthesis and zoospore adhesion.
