Role of camel’s urine in growth rate of Microcystis sp.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of camel’s urine against growth of Microcystis sp. The algae farms were divided into four groups, the first group (I) is the control group, contained 100 ml from Microcystis sp. algae, the second group (II), contained 100 ml of Microcystis sp. alga with 1 ml of camel’s urine, the third group (III) contained 100 ml of Microcystis sp. alga with 3 ml of camel’s urine, the fourth group (IV) contained 100 ml of Microcystis sp. alga, with 5 ml of camel’s urine. All groups were examined during the time periods (the first day , the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day).

       The results showed that all concentration of camel’s urine caused a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the rate of growth of alga over all periods of the experiment.
