Isolation of Intact Chloroplasts from Dunaliella tertiolecta.

Cells of Dunaliella tertiolecta from the log phase of growth were broken by rapid extrusion at low pressure through a Yeda press and the chloroplasts were isolated by centrifugation through a Percoll gradient. Osmolarity of the growth media, the suspending media, and the Percoll gradient was kept identical to minimize change in chloroplast volume and mitochondrial entrapment. The isolated intact chloroplasts were obtained in a 30 to 50% yield based on chlorophyll and were stable to washing with buffered medium. Isolated chloroplast yield and purity was dependent on cell culture condition; a cycle of 16 hours light and 8 hours dark with continuous high CO(2) was optimum. Isolated chloroplasts were about 90% intact by microscopic examination, ferricyanide-dependent O(2) evolution, and the distribution of four stromal enzymes. Enzymes associated with glycolate metabolism were not in the chloroplast fraction. The isolated chloroplasts with 10 millimolar bicarbonate evolved 24 micromoles of O(2) and fixed 21 micromoles of CO(2) per hour per milligram of chlorophyll, which rates were about one-third of those by whole cells. The inhibition of oxygen evolution by 10 millimolar phosphate was reversed by P-glycerate. Whole chloroplasts were also isolated from cells adapted to low CO(2) in air for 24 hours. On low CO(2) the cells excreted more gelatinous material, which had to be removed with additional washing of the cells, before it was possible to obtain good chloroplast preparations.
