Abstract
The contents of phycoerythrin, phycocyanin and allophycocyanin are determined with 4 species each of Rhodophyceae and Cyanophyceae. Phycoerythrin is a predominant pigment component in all species except that Tolypothrix tennis grown under a red light (> 600 m[mu]) contains only a trace amount of phycoerythrin. Phycocyanin is, in general, rich in Rhodophyceae at the same level as phycoerythrin.Keywords
