The rate of excretion of organic substances by natural phytoplankton population during photosynthesis was measured by using the <SUP>14</SUP>C-method in the water body of Shiozu Bay, Lake Biwa. The relative rate of excretion in terms of carbon ranged from 1 to 11% of the photosynthetic assimilation of CO<SUB>2</SUB>. The excretion maximum was found at the depth of 3 m at which the light intensity was 10-20% of that at the surface of water. The rate of excretion was relatively high under illumination of light below the saturation intensity. <BR>Fractionation of the substances excreted after exposed to light in water samples added with <SUP>14</SUP>CO<SUB>2</SUB> revealed that more than 73 per cent of the total <SUP>14</SUP>C-radioactivity existed in the anionic fraction. Glycolic acid was identified as the major component in the anionic fraction. In an oligotrophic water body such as Shiozu Bay of Lake Biwa, glycolic acid excreted by phytoplankton populations during photosynthesis may play an important role in the production of some bacteria and other microorganisms which utilize this compound as sources of carbon and energy.
