Initial growth phases of two bloom-forming cyanobacteria (Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and Planktothrix agardhii) in monocultures and mixed cultures depending on light and nutrient conditions
- Initial fast-growing abilities of bloom-forming species assessed in mono vs mixed cultures.
- A low growth rate recorded in mixed cultures, suggesting possible competitive interactions under specific conditions.
- P. agardhii outcompete C. raciborski at low light intensity and high NO3- source; while C. raciborski outgrow at high NH4+ levels.
