The isotopic fractionation of sulphur in the plant metabolism of sulphate by chlorella was investigated; and for this purpose an apparatus was devised for growing chlorella under sterile conditions. A green alga from the shores of Lake Erie, and mustard plants from the field were also investigated. No isotopic fractionation was found in the plant metabolism of sulphate either in the laboratory or in nature. A new method for the reduction of sulphate to hydrogen sulphide was also developed. / Thesis / Master of Science (MS)
