| Abstract: | Present study consists the, effect of temperature (10-30oC),
salinity (15-35 psu) and biofilm on the settlement of Enteromorpha flexousa
zoospores. Settlement of zoospores was significantly (p<0.05) influenced by both temperature and salinity. Highest
percentage of settlement occurred at 25oC and 30 psu respectively.
Subsequently the influence of biofilm was evaluated at the optimum 25oC
and 30 psu culture conditions. Among these, the glass cover slip
substratum preconditioned with biofilm facilitated higher settlement. Highest spore settlement occurred in the
first 30 minutes of incubation and further increase was gradual with time until
it reached the optimum. |
