The method of cultivation of algae on the surface of solid, medium under regulated conditions was used for studying the influence of light on the autospore number with three strains of chlorococcal algae:Scenedesmus quadricauda, Scenedesmus obliquus andChlorella kessleri. The results of these experiments show that not only light but the type of medium as well, exert a very important influence upon both nuclear and cell division and the whole course of the life cycle of algal cells. The number of autospores produced by single cells can be ascertained reliably on the surface of the solid medium. Owing to this fact the relations in cellular populations can be expressed with greater precision in comparison with the evaluation of cultures in liquid media.
