Carbon metabolism in selected strains of Nostoc muscorum and Chlorella vulgaris grown in the presence of three nitrophenols [o-nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol] was assessed by examining activities of the enzymes such as amylase, starch phosphorylase, fructose 1,6-biphosphatase, sucrose phosphate synthase, and invertase. Marked alterations were observed in activities of the enzymes involved in starch metabolism. The cellular content of starch in nitrophenol-grown cultures was significantly reduced, whereas the levels of nonreducing and reducing sugars significantly increased. There was a significant increase in the activities of amylase and phosphorylase, and these alterations are probably responsible for the decreased amount of starch in the cultures. Furthermore, significant changes were noticed in activities of the enzymes involved in synthesis of sucrose as well.
