Table 1 Sporulation differences between groups with the addition of DBMIB or DCMU at 48 h.

From: The sporulation of the green alga Ulva prolifera is controlled by changes in photosynthetic electron transport chain

  1. We can find that compared with the normal group, the addition of DCMU at 48 h seldom inhibited the sporulation but the addition of DBMIB at 48 h significantly inhibited the sporulation.
