Abstract
Ultrasonic (high frequency/low intensity) stimulation of Chlorella vulgaris is shown to intensity population growth. The effeet is caused by a change in the cellular membrane potential as a resuh of increased permeability of the membrane; metabolie rate is thus determined by the cell′s energy demand. It is suggested tbat sonicatíon can be applied in biotech- nological proeesses involving Chlorella.
