The characteristics of the protein of fresh-water, mass-cultured S. platensis were studied. The solubility of this algal protein in water and various aqueous solvents was estimated. The total protein content of the blue-green algae was .apprx. 50-55% of which nearly 9.9% was nonprotein nitrogen. About 80% of the total protein nitrogen can be extracted by 3 successive extractions with water. The isoelectric point of this algal protein is 3.0. The total proteins were characterized physicochemically by standard techniques. In the ultracentrifuge total proteins resolve into 2 major components with s20,w [sedimentation coefficient] values of 2.6 and 4.7 S. The polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic pattern of the total protein showed 7 bands including 3 prominent ones. The in vitro digestibility of the total protein of fresh algae was found to be 85% when assayed with a pepsin-pancreatin system.
