[Bacterial destruction of algal organic matter with glucose formation]. / Bakterial'noe razlozhenie organicheskogo veshchestva vodoroslei s obrazovaniem gliukozy

ABSTRACT

The increase in the number of bacteria, the rate of destruction of organic matter, and the rate of glucose assimilation with analysis according to Wright and Hobbie were determined during 205 days in two bottles containing water from the Rybinsk Reservoir; one of the bottles contained also 25 mg of dry algal cells per one litre. During this period in the control, 39% of the initial amount of the organic matter was destructed (12 mg C per litre), and 4.6% of glucose was formed from this quantity. In the experimental series, 85.6% of the initial amount of the organic matter underwent destruction (from 12.5 mg C per litre), and 48.5% of glucose was formed from this amount.
