Interaction between simulated dense Scenedesmus dimorphus (Chlorophyta) bloom and freshwater meta-zooplankton community

Scenedesmus dimorphus biofilm: Photoefficiency and biomass production under intermittent lighting

This study investigated the effect of intermittent lighting on the growth performances of a Scenedesmus dimorphus biofilm. Flashing light effect (FLE) is common in traditional suspended cultures of microalgae; yet, publications about this phenomenon, in the context of biofilm cultivation, are scarce. In this work we demonstrate that, thanks to intermittent illumination, it is possible for attac...

3 Freshwater Zooplankton

Nutrient enrichment and selective predation by zooplankton promote Microcystis (Cyanobacteria) bloom formation

An experiment was conducted with a natural freshwater phytoplankton community from a eutrophic pond to investigate the combined effects of phytoplankton community competitive interactions, nutrient enrichment and zooplankton on Microcystis bloom formation. The pond water initially had a very low concentration of Microcystis, but the total phytoplankton biomass as chlorophyll a reached 110 mg L ...

Cyanobacteria bloom: selective filter for zooplankton?

The Ibirité reservoir is an urban and eutrophic environment, with regular occurrences of cyanobacteria blooms. The reservoir is warm monomict and remains stratified most of the year, circulating in the dry season (winter). During the hydrological cycle of October/07 to October/08 there were four scenarios with different environmental conditions, which influenced the structure of the zooplankton...

اثر نانوذره اکسیدمس بر سیستم رنگدانه ای جلبک Scenedesmus dimorphus

مقدمه: نانومواد به دلیل اندازه‌ بسیار کوچک خواص متمایزی نسبت همان ماده در حالت توده‌ای دارند. اندازه‌ی نانویی باعث غالبیت بعضی خواص مربوط به اتم‌ در نانوذرات می‌شود. این ویژگی‌ها ممکن است اثراتی منفی بر فیتوپلانکتونها در پایه زنجیره‌ غذایی داشته باشد. در تحقیق حاضر اثر سمیت نانوذره اکسیدمس (CuO-NP) Scenedesmus dimorphus به روش OECD201 مورد بررسی قرار گرفت.مواد و روش‌ها:...
