Nutritional basis for relating Prototheca and Chlorella

Publication: Canadian Journal of Microbiology
July 1972

Abstract

Prototheca, which has been referred to as an achlorophyllous Chlorella, is now for the first time associated nutritionally with Chlorella protothecoides. Prototheca spp. and C. protothecoides share a requirement for thiamine and lack the ability to assimilate nitrate. This provides circumstantial evidence that Prototheca and C. protothecoides are related and excludes the other morphologically similar Chlorella.

Résumé

Prototheca que l'on a rapporté comme étant un Chlorella sans chlorophylle démontre pour la première fois une relation au point de vue nutrition avec Chlorella protothecoides. Prototheca spp. et C. protothecoides ont tous les deux besoin de thiamine et n'assimilent pas le nitrate. Cela prouve d'une façon circonstancielle que Prototheca et C. protothecoides sont apparentés et que les autres Chlorella, morphologiquement semblables, ne le sont pas.
