TL;DR: Attributes as colony characteristics, changes in color and cellular morphology with increasing age, inhibition in the light by organic compounds such as acetate, pyruvate and certain pentose sugars, and differential sensitivity to antibiotic agents were studied and found useful in distinguishing the species of the genus Chlorococcum.
Abstract: Seventeen species of the chlorophycean genus Chlorococcum have been studied comparatively in axenic culture with the purpose of exploring the value of certain supplementary attributes in facilitating identification. The algae were cultivated under standard conditions in defined media. Such attributes as colony characteristics, changes in color and cellular morphology with increasing age, inhibition in the light by organic compounds such as acetate, pyruvate and certain pentose sugars, and differential sensitivity to antibiotic agents were studied and found useful in distinguishing the species of the genus Chlorococcum.
