Two harvests of ocean-growing red tide, comprised mainly of Gonyaulax polyedra, were evaluated in limited trials of rat feeding. The protein of red tide (25 to 30 percent, dry basis) supported growth satisfactorily. The essential amino acid composition of the protein closely resembles that of casein, the major protein of milk. As a marine resource, plankton represents a challenge for research.

Summary The genetic variants of cow β-lactoglobulin are indistinguishable by Ouchterlony double diffusion and the quantitative precipitin test. They are distinguishable from each other by complement and micro-complement fixation tests. Goat and sheep β-lactoglobulins are identical to the cow β-lactoglobulin variants by the Ouchterlony test, but are distinguishable by quantitative precipitation, complement and micro-complement fixation. Chemical modification of cow β-lactoglobulin, such as cleavage of the -His-Ile C-terminal sequence of the B variant, crystallization of the A variant with 2 moles of SDS and blocking of the -SH groups of the B variant with DTNB, do not produce molecules which are immunologically distinguishable from the parent molecule.
