Factors possibly affecting growth of Microcystis aeruginosa and M. flos aquae isolated from Wadi El-Raiyan Upper Lake Egypt under laboratory conditions
Abstract:Experiments were carried out to determine the effects of some environmental factors causing the phenomenon of algal blooming in the upper lake of Wadi El-Raiyan under laboratory conditions. Microcystis aeruginosa and M. flos aquae were isolated from Wadi El-Raiyan Lakes. Mono-clonal culture of each species was kept in 100-ml BG11 media in the laboratory for 5 days. The algal growth was measured by the determination of chlorophyll a and cell count to understand the succession patterns of both species in relatio… Show more
