Abstract

We clear-up the relationship between the soil pH and the algal presence, on a total of 40 samples. The algae belong to 60 different genera of the classes Cyanophyta, Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta which have been isolated using the enrichment culture technique.

We also relate these algae groups wits the percentage of organic matter present in the substratum.
