Hi;
Over the last year or so the quality of Elodea to perform well in our
photosynthesis lab is waning. We are looking for a replacement for
Elodea, hopefully one that is easy to maintain and/or obtain that
will
generate O2 quickly and in reasonable volumes for a micro-Warburg
(albeit
bailing wire and gum) apparatus. I know that I am probably asking
for
the moon, the stars and the sun, but hey, you never know. Any help
in
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
-Michael-

Have you tried Chlorella? We use an O2 electrode with isolated
chloroplasts, but am considering using Chlorella and the procedure
outlined in Carol Reiss' Experiments in Plant Physiology, Exp. #7.
