diatom composition in Küçük Menderes River Basin. Samples were seasonally taken
from 7 river water bodies and 3 dams (Tahtalı, Beydağı and Alaçatı) in 2014
from epilithon and epipelon substrates. Hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid
were used to remove the organic matter from frustules and permanent slides were
mounted by Naphrax solution. A total of 94 benthic diatom taxa were identified. <i> <span>Nitzschia palea </span> </i> <span> (Kützing) W.Smith, <i>N. inconspicua </i> Grunow, </span> </span> <i> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en-gb">N.
