Cyanobacterial diversity and biomass in relation to nutrient regime of four freshwater reservoirs sourced for the production of drinking water in Ghana
Original language description
The cyanobacterial diversity, biomass and nutrients (nitrite, nitrate and phosphate) of the Weija, Kpong, Owabi and Barekese reservoirs in Accra and Kumasi Metropolitan Areas of Ghana, were monitored from January to June 2006. The results show that the reservoirs were dominated by nanocyanobacteria not recorded in earlier studies. The Weija reservoir was the most diversified in terms of cyanobacterial species, which was dominated by the nanocyanobacterium Aphanocapsa nubilum accompanied by Merismopediatenuissima, Planktolyngbya minor and Pseudanabaena recta. The Kpong reservoir was dominated by Geitlerinema unigranulatum, whilst the Owabi and Barekese reservoirs, both situated in the closed-forest region of Ghana with high rainfall and human activity,were dominated by the nanocyanobacterium Cyanogranis ferruginea, new for Ghana and for the whole of tropical Africa. A high and significant correlation was obtained between cyanobacterial abundance and nitrite in the Weija reservoir (r =
