The vitamin composition of representatives of green (Chlorella vulgaris, Platimonas viridis), blue-green (Synechococcus elongatus, Coccopedia, Spirulina platensis, Cyanidium caldarium), red (Porphyridium cruentum) unicellular algae and higher plants (wheat, chufa, beet, carrot, turnip, radish, cucumber, dill, Welsh onion, potato) grown under artificial conditions was examined. The content of B complex vitamins (thiamine, riboflavine, nicotinic and folic acids), ascorbic acid and carotene was measured. Among the algae studied Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis showed the highest vitamin activity. The red alga Porphyridium cruentum contained the lowest quantity of thiamine, riboflavine and carotene and larger amounts of nicotinic acid. Comparison of the content of vitamins C, B1, B2, PP, folic acid and carotene in unicellular algae and higher plants, that are natural and traditional sources of the vitamins, demonstrated that the above green and blue-green algae contain greater than higher plants amounts of thiamine, riboflavine, folic acid and carotene, when calculated per g dry matter. All algae, except for Platimonas viridis and Cyanidium caldarium, are superior to beet and carrot in their content of ascorbic acid and inferior to green vegetables (radish, cabbage, dill and Welsh onion) in that parameter.
对在人工条件下培养的绿藻（普通小球藻、绿色扁藻）、蓝绿藻（聚球藻、蓝球藻、钝顶螺旋藻、嗜热栖热蓝藻）、红藻（紫球藻）以及高等植物（小麦、荸荠、甜菜、胡萝卜、芜菁、萝卜、黄瓜、莳萝、大葱、土豆）的维生素组成进行了检测。测定了B族维生素（硫胺素、核黄素、烟酸和叶酸）、抗坏血酸和胡萝卜素的含量。在所研究的藻类中，普通小球藻和钝顶螺旋藻表现出最高的维生素活性。紫球藻中硫胺素、核黄素和胡萝卜素的含量最低，烟酸含量较高。对作为维生素天然和传统来源的单细胞藻类和高等植物中维生素C、B1、B2、PP、叶酸和胡萝卜素的含量进行比较，结果表明，按每克干物质计算，上述绿藻和蓝绿藻中硫胺素、核黄素、叶酸和胡萝卜素的含量高于高等植物。除绿色扁藻和嗜热栖热蓝藻外，所有藻类的抗坏血酸含量均高于甜菜和胡萝卜，但在该参数上低于绿色蔬菜（萝卜、卷心菜、莳萝和大葱）。
