Inositol and choline were present in varying amounts among the species of Rhodophyta, Phaeophyta, Chlorophyta, and Euglenophyta examined. However, in the two members of the order Fucales (division Phaeophyta) examined, no detectable amounts of choline were found. In contrast, the species of Cyanophyta examined contained no detectable amounts of either choline or inositol. All species of the fungal classes Phycomyceteae, Ascomyceteae, and Basidiomyceteae collected contained both inositol and choline in varying amounts. The red, brown, and blue-green algae usually contained much less inositol and choline than do plant and animals sources, but the fungi and the algae Chlorella and Euglena contained amounts comparable to those present in plant sources.
在所检测的红藻门、褐藻门、绿藻门和裸藻门的物种中，肌醇和胆碱的含量各不相同。然而，在所检测的墨角藻目（褐藻门）的两个成员中，未发现可检测到的胆碱含量。相比之下，所检测的蓝藻门物种中未发现可检测到的胆碱或肌醇含量。所采集的藻状菌纲、子囊菌纲和担子菌纲的所有真菌物种都含有不同含量的肌醇和胆碱。红藻、褐藻和蓝绿藻中的肌醇和胆碱含量通常比植物和动物来源中的要少得多，但真菌以及绿藻和裸藻中的含量与植物来源中的相当。
