Extract

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.
