Frequency response analysis of oxygen evolution by algae

Common photosynthetic organisms were excited with steps, pulses, or sine waves of light as dissolved oxygen was measured with a microelectrode. Frequency response analysis revealed two fundamental time constants of 4 and 16 s. These time constants are assigned provisionally to processes for mass tra...

More Information
Summary:Common photosynthetic organisms were excited with steps, pulses, or sine waves of light as dissolved oxygen was measured with a microelectrode. Frequency response analysis revealed two fundamental time constants of 4 and 16 s. These time constants are assigned provisionally to processes for mass transfer and to the biochemical reactions of reduction of carbon dioxide.
