Abstract
The amino acid composition of the blue-green alga Spirulina platensis was determined and compared with other algal, vegetable and animal protein sources. The alga with 58.5% protein is rich in lysine and tryptophan, but deficient in sulphur containing amino acids. Of the three species ofSpirulina, S. platensis has a higher content of sulphur containing amino acids. The PER of this alga is much higher than that of other algae like Chlorella and Scenedesmus.
