27. Summary

Proteins of whole cell extracts from 16 Chlorococcum species and 3 Tetracystis species (formerly Chlorococcum) were analyzed for isozymes of nonspecific α-esterases, leucine aminopeptidase, and malate dehydrogenase using starch gel electrophoresis. Each species could be identified by the banding patterns. Chlorococcum species are heterogenous regarding the presence, number, electrophoretic mobility, concentration, and distribution of isozymes. The data are discussed in relation to current knowledge of each species. Taxonomic applications of algal isozymes are considered.
