Due to global warming, the decrease in water resources and the difficulties in reaching clean water are important problems for people today. New studies on water resources and the living creatures living in these water resources provide information about the status of these resources. Algae are necessary organisms for the survival of other living things in the environment because they provide oxygen to the environment they live in and form the first step of the food chain. Algae are very important living things because they are the primary producers in the aquatic ecosystems they are in. Due to these importance, many studies are carried out on microalgae. In this study, it was aimed to determine the chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total carotenoid content and antioxidant activities of some green algae species isolated from the benthic algae flora of Altınapa Dam Lake, which is one of the important drinking water sources of the city of Konya. Three Chlorophyta (Chlorella vulgaris, Acutodesmus obliquus, Monoraphidium minutum) species showing high growth potential under culture conditions were selected and studies were carried out with these species. Since Monoraphidium minutum species belonging to Chlorophyta, gives IC50 values close to the reference antioxidant, it has been concluded that it can provide an economic contribution in the food and pharmaceutical industries when produced under appropriate conditions.

Küresel ısınmaya bağlı olarak su kaynaklarının azalması ve temiz suya ulaşmada yaşanan zorluklar günümüzde önemli sorunlar olarak insanların karşısına çıkmaktadır. Önemi bu gibi nedenlerle daha da artan su kaynakları ve bu su kaynaklarında yaşayan canlılarla ilgili yapılan yeni çalışmalar, bu kaynakların durumu hakkında bilgiler sağlamaktadır. Algler yaşadıkları ortama oksijen sağlamaları ve besin zincirinin ilk basamağını oluşturmaları nedeniyle ortamda bulunan diğer canlıların yaşamlarını sürdürebilmesi için gerekli organizmalardır. Algler, içinde bulundukları sucul ekosistemlerde birincil üretici olmaları nedeniyle oldukça önemli canlılardır. Bu önemlerinden dolayı mikroalgler üzerinde birçok çalışma yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Konya şehrinin önemli içme suyu kaynaklarından biri olan Altınapa Baraj Gölü'nün bentik alg florasından izole edilen bazı yeşil alg türlerinin klorofil-a, klorofil-b, toplam karotenoid içeriği ve antioksidan aktivitelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kültür koşullarında yüksek çoğalma potansiyeli gösteren üç Chlorophyta (Chlorella vulgaris, Acutodesmus obliquus, Monoraphidium minutum) türü seçilmiş ve çalışmalar bu türlerle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Chlorophyta bölümüne ait Monoraphidium minutum türü referans alınan antioksidana yakın IC50 değerleri verdiğinden, uygun koşullarda üretildiğinde gıda ve eczacılık endüstrilerinde ekonomik katkı sağlayabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
