Turkish Journal of Botany
The epipelic and epilithic algae of the Sana river, were investigated during the period January 1995 to December 1995. Sity taxa belonging to the Bacillariphyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta and Euglenopnyta divisions were identified. Melosira varians Ag. (Coscinodiscaceae), Cocconeis placentula var. euglypta (Ehr.) Cleve (Achnanthaceae), Cymbella minuta Hilse ex Rabh. (Cymbellaceae), Navicula cryptocephala Kütz. and N. cryptocephala var. veneta Kütz. Grun. (Naviculaceae), were abundant among epipelic algae. Of the epilithic algae, it was observed that Concconeis placentula var. euglypta, Cymbella mi-nuta and Didymosphenia geminata (Lyng.) M. S. (Naviculaceae) were abundant.

A Study On The Benthic Algae Of Uzungöl (Trabzon), Bülent Şahi̇n
Turkish Journal of Botany
The composition of the benthic algal communities and seasonal changes in the densities of the epipelic algae of Uzungöl Lake from April, 1991, to March, 1993, were studied. While the maximum density of the epipelic community was found to be 131111 cells/cm 2 at station I in April, 1991 the maximum density at station II in November, 1991, was 64581 cells/cm 2 . Bacillariophyta was dominant in the benthic algal population. The main epipelic diatoms were Amphora ovalis Kütz. (Cym-bellaceae), Ceratoneis arcus Kütz. (Fragilariaceae), Cymbella minuta Hilse ex Rabh. (Cymbellaceae), Navicula cryptocephala var. veneta (Kütz.) and Grun. and N. radiosa …
