Abstract excerpt
Considerably low methanol concentrations of 0.5% (v/v), induce an immense increase in biomass production in cultures of the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus compared to controls without additional methanol. The effect is light-regulated and it mimics high-CO2 induced changes of the molecular structure and function of the photosynthetic apparatus. There is evidence that methanol enhances under high...
