Abstract. The effect of accumulation of 3-O-methylglucose (MG) on growth and steady-stale concentrations of the endogenous osmotic solutes proline and sucrose was studied in Chlorella emersonii grown at external osmotic pressure (II) of 0.08-1.64 MPa. NaCL was used as osmoticum. The total solute content of the cells was manipulated by supplying 2 mol m−3 MG for 4 and 48 h. MG accumulated to 50–230 mol m−3 within 4h and was not metabolized. Uptake of MG resulted in decreases in concentrations of proline and sucrose, the two solutes mainly responsible for osmotic adaptation of C. emersonii to high II. After 4 or 48 h growth in the presence of MG, the decreases in concentration of proline and sucrose were as predicted from the contribution of MG to the total solute content of the cell.
