Abstract
VARIOUSLY pigmented mutants of Cyanidium caldarium, an organism classified in succession as a blue-green, green, and red alga by Hirose1 and which Allen2 regards as an anomalously pigmented chlorophyte, appear to be excellent experimental materials for study of the synthesis of phycocyanin.
