For many years, Hirst was a member of the Board of Governors of the Rowett Research Institute, Aberdeen, where he took a keen interest in the work of the Institute as a whole, and particularly that of Dr. A. E. Oxford and the microbiology department. This led to collaboration on the nature of the reserve carbohydrate synthesized by Cycloposthium and by the holotrich ciliates present in sheep s rumen. Both protozoal polysaccharides were shown to be amylopectin in type. The work was continued with other protozoa, in collaboration with J. F. Ryley, and the presence of starch or amylopectin-type polysaccharides was established in Chilomonas paratnecium, Haematococcus pluvialis, and Tet-raselmis carteriiformis.
