Abstract

A simple method of measuring the amount of chlorophyll a in epilithic algae was newly developed. To scour the algae, we used a special acrylate fiber (Micro-cloth; Koyo Co. Ltd., Tokyo : by Shaleria of Asahi Chemical Co.) and a rubber plate with a hole 25 mm in diameter. The accuracy of the new method was tested in comparison with the traditional method of scrap-ing a rectangular area of 50 by 50 mm with a toothbrush, resulting in similar measured values between these two methods (R²=0.986 ; y=1.029x ; x : measured values by the toothbrush method, y : those by Micro-cloth method). This new simple method is appropriate for determining the micro-distribution of epilithic algae.
