Eutrophication and Freshwater Microorganisms

Module No. MB 5209

2nd Semester

Course Description

In eutrophication and freshwater microorganisms describes the origin of eutrophication, ecological effects of eutrophication in standing waters, the growth and impact of algal blooms and control of blue green algae.

Learning Outcomes

This module give the students to know the eutrophication causes changes in the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of these ecosystems which are generally detrimental to the biota living in them and also descreases their esthetic and economic importance.
