Abstract

The newest approach in the saturation fluorimetry of photosynthetic organisms by the example of phytoplankton was developed. The theoretical model and the inverse problem of the saturation fluorimetry are discussed. The results of evaluation of molecular photophysical parameters of alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa under various stress factors, such as presence of DCMU and Cu 2+ ions are presented. The correlation between theese parameters and the parameters obtained using Fluorescence Induction and Relaxation technique is discussed.
