| Abstract |
This study presents definitive hypotheses for natural aerobic algal decomposition and nutrient regeneration. Emphasis is placed on the significance of the refractory organic fraction of algae in the decay and nutrient regeneration processes. Other variables considered include water chemistry, algal species, decomposers (bacteria and animals), age of algal culture, and temperature. Natural heterogeneous algal growth and decomposition were studied in a wide variety of natural waters, ranging from ocean water to mountain spring water. Also, pure algal cultures were studied in order to explain some of the complex processes occurring during algal growth and decay. |
