This study reveals the distribution of Bacillariophyceae in estuarine-mangrove which is mainly influenced by the quality of the waters. The main component analysis approach between variables is critical in this study because it determines the environmental characteristics in each estuarine zone....

This study was carried out in four stations in the Doğancı Dam Reservoir in the northwestern part of the Anatolian Region of Turkey. Within this study, phytoplankton composition were evaluated by using artificial neural network and clustering technique. For this purpose, phytoplankton algal flora...

The distribution of phytoplankton diversity and abundance found in coastal areas is usually different from the open seas due to changes in environmental parameters. The study was conducted to provide data on the distribution, diversity (H' and Simpson's indices), and abundance of phytoplankton in...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Biodiversity is the variety of life that exists on Earth, including all the organisms, species, and populations that come together in a complex manner to form communities and ecosystems. This study aimed to assess the diversity of microalgae in several different...

In tropical regions there are a large number of species of diatoms that have not been identified yet. This research aimed to study the composition of epilithic diatom flora found in samples collected in Dagua River a tropical Andean hydrographical basin located to the southwest of Colombia....

Jakarta City is passing by 2 rivers, they are Angke and Grogol Rivers. These rivers are a source of phytoplankton including diatom Bacillariophyceae. Whereas recently, those rivers have received heavy metal inputs that may affect the water quality and also the diatom diversity. Then this study aims ...

There are limited data available related to the sensitivity of Arctic species to environmental contaminants, and this knowledge gap creates uncertainty in environmental risk assessments (ERAs). To help address this concern, we optimized culturing conditions to allow for toxicity tests with an...

The search for novel sources of nutrients is among the basic goals for achievement of sustainable progress. In this context, microalgae are relevant organisms, being rich in high-value compounds and able to grow in open ponds or photobioreactors, thus enabling profitable exploitation of aquatic...

In the current energy context where fuel demand is increasing, bioenergy is regarded as a promising way for renewable energy. Microalgae are an attractive target for producing a wide range of highly valuable products such as lipids. Thus, lipids made from microalgae are an alternative for biodiesel ...

The structure of phytobenthic diatom communities was studied to reveal differences between natural and channelized river sections in Slovenia. As part of the national monitoring of surface waters, samples of phytobenthos were collected at 85 sites throughout the country according to standard...
