Symbiotic Chlorella isolated from green hydra by simple techniques of homogenization and centrifugation have been found to be contaminated with comparatively large amounts of animal debris. Additional washing with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) removed virtually all contaminating host protein from the Chlorella without affecting its viability.
