Abstract
The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii synthesizes glyce rol as an osmoregulatory metabolite when exposed to high saline concen trations (200 mM NaCl). Response to osmotic stress can be used for bio technological production of this compound. When synthesis of a substan ce is linked to photosynthetic capacity and consequently to effective light, the production on a large scale makes an efficient utilization of light necessary. In the present work a model for evaluation of effe ctive light has been tested.
