Abstract
Influences of hydrostatic pressure (200-
800 atm ) and temperature )50-150C)
applied for 5 hours were studied on the assimilating filaments of B. plumose (hunds) C.A.Ag; the after-effects were observed upto 3 weeks. The cell morphology of the filaments was found to be increasing
Ly affected by the rising pressure. The physiological limits of tolerance of the alga were much lower than other observed seaweeds, it seems to be an extremely baophobic, pressure upto 400 atm produced reversible changes. But the higher ones rendered irreversible effects leading to the ultimate death of the thalli either immediately or after sometimes depending on the temperature . increasing temperature decreased the pressure effects.
