SUMMARY The marine alga Chlamydomonas spec. contains a very high concentration of chlorophyll b . Electron micrographs of freeze‐fracture preparations show that membrane particles occur in two sizes and in two different population densities. Computer analysis of a low temperature absorption spectrum shows a high amount of chlorophyll b but only moderate amounts of chlorophyll a ‐640 and of chlorophyll a ‐685.
