摘要
Three physiological states, characterized by their hydrocarbon content are described for the green alga Botryococcus braunii: (1) Green active state colonies containing a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of the general formula CnH2n-2 and CnH2n-4, (2) Brown resting state colonies containing a high concentration of a nearly pure (90 per cent) hydrocarbon botryococcene, (3) Large green cells showing very little synthesis of hydrocarbons. © 1969.
