Chlorella
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chlorella is a genus of single-celled green algae, belonging to the phylum
Chlorophyta. It is spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 ?m in diameter, and is
without flagella. Chlorella contains the green photosynthetic pigments
chlorophyll-a and -b in its chloroplast. It depends on photosynthesis for
growth and multiplies rapidly, requiring only carbon dioxide, water,
sunlight, and a small amount of minerals.
Chlorella has been researched as a potential food because it is high in
protein and other essential nutrients. When dried, it is about 45 percent
protein, 20 percent fat, 20 percent carbohydrate, and 10 percent various
minerals and vitamins. However, because it is a single-celled alga, harvest
had posed practical difficulties for its large-scale use as a food source.
Methods of mass production are now being used to cultivate it in large
artificial circular ponds. It has been eaten in times of famine in areas
such as China during the failed Great Leap Forward, often being grown in
human urine.
The name Chlorella is taken from the Greek word chloros meaning green and
the Latin diminutive suffix ella meaning small and was named by a Dutch
biologist. The German biochemist Otto Heinrich Warburg received the Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1931 for his study on photosynthesis in
Chlorella. In 1961 Melvin Calvin of the University of California received
the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on the pathways of carbon
dioxide assimilation in plants using Chlorella. In recent years researchers
have made less use of Chlorella as an experimental organism because it lacks
a sexual cycle and, therefore, the research advantages of genetics are
unavailable.
