Abstract
1. 1. The amino acid composition of phytoplankton of sewage treatment ponds at Meze evolves with taxonomic origins of the population, growing conditions and sample time. 2. 2. It is characterized by the presence of aliphatic compounds and amino diacids, and also by the weak representation of sulphur amino acids. 3. 3. Chlorophyceae populations which present the highest concentration of amino acids could be used in aquaculture for the larval growth of molluscs. 4. 4. Equally, with Bacillaryophyceae populations, they should represent a major constituent of the feeding of young mammals given their wealth of essential amino acids. 5. 5. Production of Cyanophyceae could eventually be of value for dermocosmetology since they contain ornithin, precursor of growth factors.
