[Peculiarities of growth and morphogenesis of syphoneal alga vaucheria sessilis in microgravity].
The space experiment was aimed at studying the dependence on the gravity of intracellular processes in an autotrophic organism deprived of pronounced gravitropisms and gravitaxis. The experiment demonstrated an immediate gravitational effect on intercellular processes involving the syphoneal alga Vausheira sessilis cytoskeleton. In the absence of the force of gravity algal growth and morphogenesis are inhibited more significantly than under the condition of the Earth's gravity.
