Algicidal effect of bromine and chlorine on Chlorella pyrenoidosa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chlorella pyrenoidosa was found to grow rapidly in tap water. Peak growth was reached after 2 to 3 days. Chlorine and bromine, added to such water, were shown to be effective inhibitors of algal growth. Bromine and bromamine were primarily algicidal, whereas chlorine and chloramines were mainly algistatic. It is assumed that the mechanisms of action of these halogens on Chlorella are not the same.

We investigated the nitrogen and phosphate nutrient status in the habitats of Alternanthera philoxeroides and its co-occurring algal growth in a field survey. We also determined the algicidal activity of A. philoxeroides extracts from a diversity of habitats in Chaohu Lake, China, in the laboratory. We then tested the correlation between the nutrient status and the algicidal activity of A. phil...
متن کاملLipid Accumulation Studies In Chlorella Pyrenoidosa Using Customized Photobioreactor- Effect of Nitrogen Source, Light Intensity and Mode of Operation
Lipid productivity of Chlorella pyrenoidosa was studied in a customized laboratory scale photobioreactor. Lipid yield increased when C. pyrenoidosa was subjected to stress conditions like different nitrogen sources, light intensities and modes of cultivation. It was observed that the growth rate of C. pyrenoidosa was directly proportional to light intensity and nitrogen concentrations. Of the t...
متن کاملInfluence of stabilizer concentration on effectiveness of chlorine as an algicide.
Cyanuric acid, used as chlorine stabilizer in swimming pool waters, has a relatively minor effect on the algicidal efficiency of free chlorine. The toxicity of free chlorine to three swimming pool algae was reduced slightly by 25 mg of cyanuric acid per liter if inhibiting, but less than algicidal, concentrations of chlorine were employed. Higher stabilizer concentrations (50, 100, and 200 mg/l...

Harmful algal blooms have become a great challenge to global aquatic ecosystems over the past decades. Given their low toxicity, high selectivity, and environment-friendly properties, the use of natural products and their analogues as algicides has proven to be particularly efficient. In the present study, algicidal activity of naturally occurring bacillamides A-C, alkaloid (1), and neobacillam...

Laboratory and clinical studies from Japan have reported that broken cell wall preparations and extracts of Chlorella pyrenoidosa, a unicellular green alga, as well as other Chlorella species when either given orally or injected, promote growth and healing. Furthermore, these preparations stimulate the immune system in such a way that the host is protected from infection and cancer. Chlorella p...
