Dr. Osmond and co-investigator Dr. Ramus will characterize the process          of photoinihibition (light-dependent inhibition of photosynthesis) in           marine macroalgae (seaweeds) using new methods of fluorescence analysis         at ambient and liquid nitrogen temperature.  These methods will be              integrated with conventional analysis of photosynthetic quantum yield           and oxygen-flash yield.  Marine macroalgae adapted to shallow water             (intertidal) and deep water (continental shelf reefs) will provide a            comparative base for the study.  Seaweeds will be grown in an indoor            continuous flow system using a controlled illumination system to                establish specific growth rate-incident irradiance relationships.  Once         the conditions that predispose various marine macroalgae species to             photoinhibition are established, the significance of the process to the         ecology of marine macroalgae, particularly depth distribution and               productivity, will be evaluated.
