Abstract
AS part of a programme of study of the nitrogenous metabolism of the alga Chlorella being undertaken in this department, it was considered desirable to obtain evidence for the presence or absence of transaminase systems within the organism, and to evaluate the relative activities of any such systems found to be present. The organism used was a strain of Chlorella vulgaris identical with that used in the experiments described by Syrett and Fowden1.
