Preparation of chloroplasts from brown algae

Thalli from a brown alga Undaria pinnatifida were soaked by CaCl2 solution with different concentration and time at 4 degreesC, the effect of CaCl2 solution on efficiency and influorescence emission spectra of chloroplasts were examined. The results show that the efficiency of collected chloroplasts is increased markedly after soaking in CaCl2 solution. According to the results of collected efficiency and characteristic of influorescence emission spectra at room temperature of chloroplasts, it was suggested that soaking in the 0.2 mol/L CaCl2 solution for 10 min is optimum. Under this condition, the efficiency of collected chloroplasts is as 5 fold as control group, and the characteristics of chloroplasts obtained by CaCl2 soaking are similar to that of traditional method.
