This assumption is always true for polychromatic-illumination and for monochromatic-illumination experiments in the case of eukaryotic microalgae, according to the well-known action spectrum of photosynthesis. This is not the case for monochromatic illumination of cyanobacteria (Farges et al., 2009). 

The cellular structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microalgae is quite distinct. Prokaryotic microalgal cells possess a gram-negative cell wall with four layers, below which there is plasma membrane. Within the cells, there are thylakoids which contain the photosynthetic machinery that lie free in the cytoplasm. Typical cell inclusions consists of... 

The present study indicates that the environmetal CO concentration affects on membrane lipids in addition to photosynthetic characteristics. Under low CO2 concentration, novo synthesis of carbonic anhydrase is induced and pyrenoid with starch sheath is developed in various eukaryotic microalgae. So far some intermediate(s) of photorespiratory pathway and/or CO2/O2 ratio has been proposed to be the initial reaction which induces the de novo synthesis of carbonic anhydrase [4,53. Carbon dioxide is much more soluble in fats than water and the adsorption is quick [63. Therefore, the changes in the degree of unsaturation of the fatty acyl chain in the membranes may be one of the initial reactions which occur in response to the decrease of CO concentration.
