The relationship between algae and microorganisms

Report 3. Effect of the algae Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus on the survival of bacteriophages to Salmonella typhimurium

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Virulent phages specific toSalmonella typhimurium lose their activity under the effect ofScenedesmus obliquus and show almost no change in the presence ofChlorella vulgaris. This makes it possible to explain the simultaneous presence of a considerable number of bacteria and algae in the water. Conditions may be created in the water reservoir where algae, depressing the development of the phages corresponding to bacteria, may become prevalent in the plankton.

The toxic products of algae metabolism were not of high polymeric structure.
