Cell walls of two strains ofChlorella vulgaris (from fresh water, F, and saline water, S) and ofKirchneriella lunaris contained various proportion of saccharides and proteins (highest percentage in dry matter was found inK. lunaris). They differed also in presence of individual monosaccharides (5 inC. vulgaris F, 8 inC. vulgaris S and 6 inK. lunaris) and amino acids (11 in C.vulgaris F, 6 in C.vulgaris S and 7 inK. lunaris). Common substances were rhamnose, cystine, proline, glutamic acid and leucine.
