Abstract

SUMMARY: The carotenoids of pure cultures of two members of the Class Chrysophyceae were examined; the main pigments in and are fucoxanthin and -carotene. The main carotenoids of are -carotene and zeaxanthin; these observations support the view that this alga represents a transitional form between the cryptomonads and the green algae. The distribution of polyenes and carotenoids in a number of ultra-violet induced mutants of is described.
