This paper investigates the influence of recycling gravity harvested algae on species
dominance and harvest efficiency in wastewater treatment High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAP) …

This paper investigates the effect of recycling on biomass energy yield in High Rate Algal
Ponds (HRAPs). Two 8 m 3 pilot-scale HRAPs treating primary settled sewage were …

In natural lakes, modifications in the species composition and abundance of phytoplankton
communities may ultimately be responses to changes in nutrient availability and climatic …

The long-term research carried out since the 1970s in the deep perialpine Lake Garda
documented more than a threefold increase of total phosphorus (TP) in the whole water …

Eutrophication or excessive nutrient richness is an impairment of many freshwater
ecosystems and a prominent cause of harmful algal blooms. It is generally accepted that …

Background We describe the development and validation of a new quantitative real time
PCR (qrt-PCR) method for the enumeration of the toxic benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf …

Globally there are numerous long-term time series measuring phytoplanton abundance.
With appropriate conversion factors, numerical species abundance can be expressed as …

FlowCAM combines flow cytometry and imaging to rapidly enumerate, classify and measure
particles. The instrument potentially increases processing speed of phytoplankton samples …

This work allowed assessing a widespread occurrence of Tychonema bourrellyi in the
largest lakes south of the Alps (Garda, Iseo, Como and Maggiore). The taxonomy of the …

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the largest lakes south of the Alps (Garda, Iseo, Como and
Maggiore) showed a progressive colonization of Dolichospermum lemmermannii …
