Abstract
Eight chlorococcalean algae and 5 rhodophycean algae have been grown in axenic cultures. These organisms have been "fingerprinted" using a pyrolysis-gas-liquid chromatographic analysis. Each alga has a distinctive pyrogram which characterizes it both quantitatively and qualitatively. The pyrograms are given and the significance for possible future uses of this technique in developmental, evolutionary, and systematic studies with algae is discussed.
