Abstract
The allelopathic effect of the freshwater alga Chlorella vulgaris on growth of the pathogenic microorganisms Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and Leptospira interrogans - pathogens of human and animals was studied. The excretion by Chlorella vulgaris inhibited growth of the experimental samples of pathogenic microorganisms in all range of dilutions (1:100, 1:100, 1:1000). The freshwater alga Ch. vulgaris is promising for remediation of wetlands from pathogenic microorganisms, particularly E. rhusiopathiae and L. interrogans.
期刊介绍:
This journal contains translations from the premier Russian and Eastern European periodicals in aquatic biology and aquatic ecosystems, supplemented by original articles from elsewhere. The journal publishes in the area of physiology, biochemistry, systematics, ecology and conservation of freshwater fish, invertebrates, vascular plants, zoo- and phytoplankton, as well as freshwater quality and toxicology. While most of the papers deal with inland waters, the journal also publishes articles reporting on expeditionary work, especially the Antarctic and tropical seas. Hydrobiological Journal is valuable to freshwater and marine biologists and chemists, limnologists, environmental scientists, oceanographers, and toxicologists.
