Transplantation of Microbenthic Algal Assemblages to Assess Structural and Functional Recovery After Diuron Exposure
The potential of microbenthic algal assemblages to recover after diuron exposure was investigated. Microbenthic algal assemblages (periphyton) were grown on glass slides in correspondence to a diuron-polluted ...

Seasonal and spatial variability of virio-, bacterio-, and picophytoplanktonic abundances in three peri-alpine lakes
Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to assess microbial community abundances and patterns in three natural, large and deep peri-alpine hydrosystems, i.e., lakes Annecy (oligotrophic), Bourget, and Geneva (mesotrophi...

A pulse-amplitude modulated fluorescence-based method for assessing the effects of photosystem II herbicides on freshwater periphyton
A test was developed that measures in vivo chlorophyll afluorescence variables to assess the apparent sensitivity of freshwaterperiphytic algae to photosystem II inhibitors. Natural periphyticcommunities from riv...
