Two moss samples (Polytrichum commune, Thuidium tamariscinum), one alga sample (Cladophora fracta), and one microalga sample (Chlorella protothecoides) were subjected to pyrolysis and steam gasification for producing hydrogen-rich gas (Demirbas, unpublished work).

MAAs have not been studied as extensively in freshwater as in marine species, but these compounds have been reported in freshwater cyanobacteria, microalgae, invertebrates, and chordates (fish).106 116 130-133 There may be several MAAs unique to freshwater organisms. Aqueous extracts from the cyanobacterium Nostoc commune contain a mixture of UV-absorbing compounds with two distinct chromophores that have maximum absorbance at 312 and 335 nm.134 135 These compounds are comprised of the usual mycosporine cyclohexenone ring structure however, it is...

Fixed screens with different filtering capacities have been frequently used to study the in situ effect of ambient UVR on shallow-water benthic microalgae in streams [25], lakes [26] and marine habitats [27,28]. In a four-month in situ experiment on UVR effects on MPB communities of a microtidal bay, Wulff et al. [29] used 80 x 80 cm screens placed in wooden frames that were pressed into the sediment. This type of field set-up, however, requires frequent cleaning and careful monitoring of the radiation field below the screens. 

In a southern part of the Western basin the diversity of microalgae was low and decreased a little with depth (11 species at 6 m, ten species at 10 m, and seven species at 15 m). The domination structure in communities also changed with increasing of depth and salinity (Table 7). In Fig. 8a, the Margalef index (Dmg) [54—56] and Shannon-Weaver index (H ) for the microphytobenthos are shown to decrease with depth.
