Abstract
The in vitro growth and differentiation of the alga Ulva rigida C. Agardh have been studied.
Plants grown in enriched sea water (medium II and especially medium L) have a higher chlorophyll content and regularly release a large number of reproductive cells (in 10 days). This capability does not depend on the collecting season.
It has been confirmed that axenic Viva cultures grown in solution degenerate. However, if the isolated germlings were grown on semi-solid media their differentiation sometimes took place. Attachment of the germlings to the fragment of the mother plant seems also to promote differentiation.
It was found that Ulva rigida could better tolerate a lower salinity than a higher one.
