This study looks at the predominance of the participation of the mitochondria in the energy supply of Chlorella cells. The localization of the Mg(2+)-activated ATPases were studied during the culture development under the geterotrophic conditions, and with an investigation of the mitochndria ultrastructure at the various stages of the culture development under clinorotation. It was found that the activity level of this enzyme is one main indice of the energy state of these organelles.
