Twenty‐seven species of coccoid, zoospore‐producing green algae representing 16 genera in the Chlorococcales and Chlorosarcinales were assayed for glycolate oxidase or glycolate dehydrogenase. Only Planophila terrestris Groover & Bold and Fasciculochloris boldii Trainor, contained glycolate oxidase whereas the others contained glycolate dehydrogenase. Representative algae were grown under varying conditions and assayed to determine any effects on these glycolate enzymes. Although specific rates of enzyme activity often varied widely, the form of glycolate enzyme present was not affected.
