Chlorella, when made heterotrophic by means of certain sugars, respires like other heterotrophic cells when subjected to the respiratory inhibitors, hydrocyanic acid, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide. Whether the case of Chlorella is typical for green cells in general remains to be seen. Experiments with various other green organisms are being carried out, in hope of settling this point.
