THE EFFECT OF ITS NITROGEN CONTENT ON THE DECOMPOSITION OF THE POLYSACCHARIDE EXTRACT OF CHONDRUS CRISPUS

MARGARET RUTH BUTLER 1

1 From the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts

The decomposition of Chondrus crispus, as measured by oxygen consumption, has been shown to be more readily accomplished on storing in sea water than that of its polysaccharide extract. This has been attributed to the higher nitrogen content of the former.

Inorganic nitrogen added to the polysaccharide extract of Chondrus increased its decomposition.

Samples of the extract containing different quantities of nitrogen have been found to decompose in direct proportion to the amount of nitrogen which they contain.
