摘要

The photobiont-containing ciliate, Paramecium bursaria, was cultured for a week under three treatments: 25A degrees C with light (25 L), 10A degrees C without light (10 D), and 10A degrees C with light (10 L). Cells of two strains under the 10 D treatment were enlarged relative to those under the 25 L treatment. This effect was very pronounced in that the length of enlarged cells was on average 130-140% of that of normal cells, and also reversible, as cells showed the opposite pattern within a week after switching treatments. In addition, many achromic drops were observed in cells cultured under the 10 D treatment. These drops are probably lipids produced by the photobiont, Chlorella variabilis.
