Isozymal relationships between zoospores and vegetative cells of chlamydomonas euryale

Abstract EN

Zoospores and vegetative cells of Chlamydomonas euryale (Lewin) have been compared through polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic patterns of their total soluble proteins, a-Est., Aik.

Ph., MDH, GDH, LAP, PER, TYR, GOT and AMY isozymal systems to check if any difference might occur.

Data have been treated according to a mathematical simi- Though being two types of cells of the same species, vegetative cells and zoospores showed 100% similarity in amylase isozyme pattern only.

Similarities of T.S.P., a-Est., MDH, GDH, TYR, LAP and PER patterns ranged from 50% to 80%.

Still those of Aik.

Ph.

and GOT were quite dissimilar (0.0% similarity).

The average similarity based on T.S.P.

and nine isozyme systems used, was 50%.

Possible reasons for the unexpected results are discussed and comments are made out.
