Acclimation of wild‐type cells and CO<sub>2</sub>‐insensitive mutants of the green alga <i>Chlorella ellipsoidea</i> to elevated [CO<sub>2</sub>]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CO(2)-insensitive mutants of the green alga Chlorella ellipsoidea were previously shown to be unable to repress an inorganic carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) when grown under 5% CO(2). When air-grown, wild-type (WT) cells were transferred to 5% CO(2), an abrupt drop of P(max) to 43% the original level of air-grown cells was observed within the initial 12 h. Photosynthetic affinities of WT cells to dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) were maintained at high levels for the initial 4 d of acclimation, and then decreased gradually to lower levels over the next 6 d. In contrast to WT cells, the CO(2)-insensitive mutant, ENU16, exhibited a constant P(max) at maximum levels and a low K(1/2)[DIC] throughout the acclimation period. The rapid P(max) drop within 12 h of acclimation in WT cells was significantly reduced by treatment with 0.5 mm of 6-ethoxybenzothiazole-2-sulphonamide (EZA), a specific membrane-permeable inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase (CA), suggesting the participation of internal CAs in the temporary drop in P(max) in WT cells. WT and ENU16 cells were grown in controlled equilibrium [CO(2)], and the photosynthetic rate of each acclimated cell type was measured under equilibrated growth [DIC] conditions. In WT cells acclimated to 0.14-0.4% [CO(2)], K(1/2)[DIC] values increased as [CO(2)] increased, and the photosynthetic rates at growth DIC conditions were shown to decrease to about 70% the P(max) level in this intermediate [CO(2)] range. Such decreases in the net photosynthetic rates were not observed in ENU16. These results suggest that algal primary production could be depressed significantly under moderately enriched CO(2) conditions as a result of acquiring intermediate affinities for DIC because of their sensitive responses to changes in the ambient [CO(2)].

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
