| Abstract | Batch and continuous flow (chemostat) assays were investigated as part of a joint industry-government sponsored, multilaboratory effort to develop a standardized algal assay procedure for nutrient level assessment. Assays were conducted with Selenastrum capricornutum as a standard assay organism. It is recommended that batch type algal assays be used only for crude screening or routine monitoring purposes and that the chemostat should be used for the quantitative assessment of the algal growth supporting properties of waters as well as for the development of kinetic descriptions for nuisance algae and the rate limiting nutrients of concern. |
