The Component Combined Amino Acids Of Some Marine Diatoms

Abstract

An investigation has been made of the occurrence of 25 amino acids in the hydrolysates of five species of diatoms which had been grown in Erd-Schreiber medium. Their distribution pattern in general resembles that found in other species. However, there are characteristic differences; thus, they contain more serine and 2-amino iso -butyric acid than the other species of phytoplankton.
