- The traditional 14C method of estimating photosynthetic rates was compared with net photo-synthesis in two species of unicellular algae. Net photosynthesis was defined as the disappearance of inorganic carbon from the algal medium and was determined using a described infra-red gas analyser (IRGA) technique. For Amphidinium carterae Hulbert, the 14C method always led to lower calculated rates of photosynthesis than the IRGA technique. This difference was, on average, ≈100%. For Scenedesmusobliquus (Turpin) Kützing, the 14C method could lead to over-estimates, good agreement with, or underestimates of net photosynthesis. Although the under-estimates were only of the order of 15%, the over-estimates were in some cases > 100%. There is some indication that respiration rate is an important factor in the relationship between photosynthetic rates calculated by the two methods for this organism.
