Differential cellular isotope effects of deuterium on photosynthetic metabolism of carbon in Chlorella ellipsoidea [Chlorophyceae]

Isotope effects of deuterium on photosynthetic metabolism of carbon in Chlorella ellipsoidea were investigated. Photosynthetic fixation of 14C in D2O was about a half of that in H2O. Each step in the photosynthetic metabolism of carbon was affected differently by D2O in the medium and constitutive D...
