Abstract
The Effect of different temperatures and photon irradiance on the growth of crust and the regeneration of tissue fragments of the commercially important red alga Grateloupia acuminat Okamura were examined in laboratory cultures. The tetraspore developed into basal crusts and produced upright thalli. Crust grew very fast at $25^{\circ}C$ and $80{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ after one week in indoor culture. However, they stopped growing after three weeks. Maximum growth was $275{\mu}m$ in diameter. They required four weeks to get upright thalli at $5^{\circ}C$, while only three weeks were required at $10^{\circ}C$. When different light intensities were compared at $15^{\circ}C$, cells of the crusts were well differentiated $80{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and consistently divided so that upright thalli were produced. In aeration culture, the upright thalli grew up to 6.5 cm in length within 4 months. Thus, it is possible to produce mass cultures of Grateloupia in the field. In addition, female and male gametophytes developed from the tetraspores and they were fertilized to produce tetrasporohyte thalli. By this procedure, the normal life cycle of the red alga G. acuminata was completed.
