Influence Of The Inorganic Carbon Addition On Photosynthesis Of Algae And Some Macrophytes, Meri̇ç Albay, Jan Pokorny

Turkish Journal of Botany

A two-step experiment was conducted in order to understand whether natural algal communities (fish-pond water) and selected macrophytes (Potamogeton pectinatus L. Elodea nuttallii (Planch.). St.John. and Utricularia L. sp.) + algae were limited by lack of inorganic carbon (IC). First, 0.6 ml 1 M KHCO_3- was added to the water of Vajgar and Ratmirovsky ponds, South Bohemia, and incubated for 180 minutes under 125 µE m^{-2} s^{-1} light. Then light intensity was increased to 150 µE m^{-2} s^{-1} and 0.6 ml 1 M KHCO_3- was added to selected macrophytes + Vajgar pond waters and incubated for 50 and 180 minutes. …
