Abstract:The concentration and composition of the biopolymeric particulate organic carbon (BPC) of the major phytoplankton components (proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) were measured in the two Nile Rayahs El Tawfiki and El Menoufy. BPC along El Rayah El Tawfiki (4.32-18.59 mgC/l) was associated to the high extent of the biopolymeric C of proteins (4.73-18.36 mgC/l). While the biopolymeric C of carbohydrates ranged between 0.08 to 0.27 mgC/l. The total concentration of biopolymeric C at El Rayah El Menoufy ranged fro… Show more
