Abstract
Nitrogen and protein contents in higher aquatic plants deriving from a natural habitat were determined. The following plants were examined: <i>Spirodela polyrrhiza</i> (L.) Schleid., <i>Elodea canadensis</i> Rich., <i>Riccia fluitans</i> L. Total nitrogen and nitrogen of respective fractions were determined by the Kjeldahl method. Nitrogen compounds were fractionated according to Thimann et al. Protein was extracted after Fletcher and Osborne and fractionated after Osborne. It was found, that total protein content in the plants under examination constitutes 18 to 25%o of dry matter. Albumins and glutelins are the most abundant protein fractions.
