Allelopathy by hydrophytes can be utilized to control algal blooms. This study was conducted to investigate the allelopathic effect (inhibition) of Scenedesmus quadricauda on Microcystis flos-aquae . When M. flos-aquae was co-cultured with S. quadricauda , the secretion of high-MW biopolymer by M. f...
