Abstract
1. Absorption spectra of phycoerythrins obtained from 44 species of Rhodophycean algae were examined.2. Phycoerythrins from Compsopogon oishii (Compsopogonaceae) showed an absorption peak at 565mμ and a shoulder at 545mμ.3. Phycoerythrins from Bangia fusco-purpurea and Porphyra suborbiculata (Bangiaceae) show two peaks at 495mμ and 565mμ, t and a shoulder at ca. 545mμ. The spectral characteristics were shared with phycoerythrins from Chantransia chalybea (Chantransiaceae) and 4 species of Batrachospermum and Sirodotia suecica (Batrachospermaceae).4. Phycoerythrin from Nemalion vermiculare (Helminthocladiaceae) has three absorption peaks at 495mμ, 545mμ and 565mμ. Three peak type of phycoerythrin was obtained from Delisea pulchra (Bonnemaisoniaceae) and Galaxaura fastigiata (Chaetangiaceae).5. So far as examined, all species belonged to Gelidiales, Cryptonemiales, Gigartinales, Rhodymeniales and Ceramiales contain phycoerythrin which shows three absorption peaks at the visible region of the spectra.
