| Abstract: | These cyanobacteria are two freshwater phytoplankton which produce toxins, taint the taste and odour of potable water and form surface blooms. A technique was developed to assess cell metabolic activity and to determine the influence of light and nutrients on gas reside synthesis and bouyancy regulation in order to understand factors which favour their dominance, and thus how to control them. |
