TLDR
It is suggested that streptomycin has a general effect on biosynthesis and that its inhibition of greening is not due to a specific inhibition of chloroplast formation, but is merely one consequence of the effect on general biosynthesis.About:

Studies on the dependence of chlorophyll synthesis on protein synthesis in Euglena gracilis , together with a nomogram for determination of chlorophyll concentration
TL;DR: Chlorophyll and carotenoid synthesis by E. gracilis were both markedly stimulated by the addition of ALA, and it is suggested that the rate of chlorophyll synthesis in the greening cells is limited by the rates of formation of ALT, which could be due to inhibition of synthesis of the thylakoid structural protein.

Chloroplasts as Symbiotic Organelles1
TL;DR: A great deal of research is needed before the idea that chloroplasts are symbiotic organelles can be asserted with any great degree of confidence.

Morphology, Biochemistry, and Genetics of Plastid Development in Euglena gracilis
V. Nigon,P. Heizmann +1 more
TL;DR: E. gracilis can tolerate a wide range of experimental conditions without responses likely to obscure the interpretation of plastid morphogenesis, unlike other species available for study, such as Chlamydomonas which sometimes responds to experimental perturbations by gametogenesis, encystment, or death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Nitrofurans on the Chloroplast System of Euglena gracilis
TL;DR: It is concluded that the nitrofurans induce apotplastidy by causing permanent damage to the chloroplast system rather than by inhibiting its replication temporarily.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Copper enzymes in isolated chloroplasts. polyphenoloxidase in beta vulgaris
TL;DR: Evidence that a copper enzyme, polyphenoloxidase (otherwise known as tyrosinase or catecholase), is localized in the chloroplasts of spinach beet (chard), Beta vu?garis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absorption of light by chlorophyll solutions
TL;DR: This paper deals with the estimation of chlorophyll in plant extracts by application of absorption coefficients of the isolated solid chlorophylla components, and the question of artifacts is automatically clarified.

Chromatography of Amino Acids on Sulfonated Polystyrene Resins. An Improved System
TL;DR: A systematic study has been made of the separations of amino acids by elution analysis on columns of synthetic ion exchange resins, demonstrating that synthetic resins are capable of separating most of the common amino acids from one another.
