Extract

The cell production of sporelings of five species of marine red algae is inhibited by 3-amino-i,2,4-triazole (3AT).

Results show that short-term immersions in culture medium containing 3AT have a lasting effect on the growth of sporelings

This growth inhibitory effect is reversed by addition of adenine.

Protracted contact with 3AT results in some chlorosis of the sporeling

The growth inhibitory effects of 3AT are more marked with sporelings of intertidal red algae than with sublittoral species.
