Picocystis salinarum (Chlorophyta) in saline lakes and hot springs of East Africa.
Krienitz, L.; Bock, Christina; Kotut, Kiplagat; Luo, Wei (2012-01)The occurrence of Picocystis salinarum in saline inland waters of East Africa was investigated using a polyphasic approach of small-subunit (SSU) rDNA phylogeny and light microscope observations. Recent studies have found ... -
The rise of potentially toxin producing cyanobacteria in Lake Naivasha, Great African Rift Valley, Kenya
Krienitz, L.; Dadheech, Pawan K.; Jutta, Fastner; Kotut, Kiplagat (Elsevier, 2013-07)Lake Naivasha, an important inland water ecosystem and a crucial freshwater resource in the Great African Rift Valley, has displayed clear signals of degradation in recent decades. We studied the phytoplankton composition ... -
Temporal changes in phytoplankton structure and composition at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir, Kenya
Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L.; Muthuri, Francis M. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998)Temporal changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll a, composition, diversity, biomass (density and fresh weight) and primary production were investigated at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir (Kenya) over a two year period (1994 and ... -
Toxic cyanobacteria and their toxins in standing waters of Kenya: implications for water resource use
Kotut, Kiplagat; Ballot, A.; Krienitz, L. (2006-06)Phytoplankton biodiversity studies in Kenya's standing waters were carried out between 2001 and 2003. Toxin producing cyanobacteria were recorded in twelve water bodies. Microcystis and Anabaena were the most common species ...
