The uniforms worn by Starfleet personnel in the 23rd century were made from xenylon, a material which was made from processing a type algae. (TAS:"The Terratin Incident")

Since the Starfleet uniforms were synthesized from an organic form of matter, they contracted along with the crew exposed to the shrinking ray.

Slug-o-Cola is a Ferengi beverage that contains 43% live algae. (DS9: "Profit and Lace")
