Dynamics of the content of protein and amino acids in the green alga Cladophora vagabunda under the influence of detergents were studied. It has been found that household detergents were responsible for a decrease in the content of protein, and also for the deterioration of its quality as compared to the standards adopted by the WAO/WHO. At the same time, contamination of the aquatic environment by detergents was responsible for the increase in the content of amino acids involved in the processes of osmosis regulation and detoxication of pollutants.
