Thin-layer and Paper Chromatographic Analyses of the Carbohydrates in the Cell Wall of Chlorella pyrenoidosa 7-11-05

Nature volume 202, pages 803–804 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

THE monosaccharide composition of isolated cell walls of strain 7–11–05 of Chlorella pyrenoidosa Chick, an organism proposed for life-support systems in space travel, was examined. The two principal methods used were thin-layer chromatography and paper chromatography, accompanied by appropriate staining.
