Abstract

Our country is very rich in thermal water resources.
In particular, the thermal waters of the Aegean Region are remarkable
geothermal fields which has with different physicochemical parameters. There
are studies in the literature of our country regarding thermal water algae
flora. On the other hand, considering the multitude of thermal waters in our
country this number is insufficient. This study has been done in order to make
up this deficiency in the literature. Within the scope of the study, sampling was
performed periodically for 12 months, and species composition have been
determined. In this paper, a total of 27 taxa have been identified (21
Cyanobacteria, 5 Bacillariophyceae and 1 Conjugatophyceae). The thermal algae
diversity which is distributed in the Germencik (Alangüllü) thermal water
source has been tried to be determined.

Keywords
