The estimation of biomass of planktonic algae can be done by two methods, the quantification of geometric biovolume and chlorophyll a. This work which considers as environmental scenario the Ayapel-Cordoba flood-plain lake, introduces (presents) the two

Mass Cultivation of Microalgae: II. A Large Species Pulsing Blue Light Concept
If mass cultivation of photoautotrophic microalgae is to gain momentum and find its place in the new “green future”, exceptional optimizations to reduce production costs must be implemented.

Visualization and quantification of the cellular and extracellular components of Salmonella Agona biofilms at different stages of development. [PDF]
Salmonella is a major food-borne pathogen able to persist in food processing environments because of its ability to form biofilms. A Salmonella enterica serotype Agona isolate from poultry (S24) was grown at 37°C in biofilms for up to 144 hours (H144) in

Relationships between biovolume and carbon and nitrogen content of bacterioplankton [PDF]
Cell volume, carbon and nitrogen content were determined for bacteria grown in batch cultures in water samples collected at five localities in western Florida, USA. Cultures were set up by inoculating 0.2 μm filtered water with 2.5 to 7.0% of 1.0 μm filtered water. Biovolumes of the bacteria were measured by epifluorescence photomicrography.

Plankton abundance, biovolume, and normalized biovolume size spectra in the northern slope of the South China Sea in autumn 2014 and summer 2015 [PDF]
Abstract Plankton abundance, biovolume and distribution in the northern slope of the South China Sea in summer 2015 and autumn 2014 were assessed by using flow cytometry and microscopy (FlowCAM) and ZooScan methods. Copepoda was the most dominant zooplankton in both seasons. Rhizosolenia dominated the phytoplankton community in autumn. In summer, the

Algorithm to estimate cell biovolume using image analyzed microscopy [PDF]
AbstractThis paper describes an algorithm for calculating the biovolume of cells with simple shapes, such as bacteria, flagellates, and simple ciliates, from a 2‐dimensional digital image. The method can be adapted to any image analysis system which allows access to the binary cell image—(i.e.), the pixels, or (x, y) points, composing the cell.

Zooplankton Biomass in Ponds - Determination of Biovolume and Dry Weight
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using simple screening methods to determine zooplankton biomass in ponds. Among the applicable methods, we selected sedimentation determination of wet biomass and dry biomass determination. Of the 369 samples analysed, the median volumetric zooplankton biomass was 0.012 ml.l-1 and the median dry ...
