Determination of Chlorophyll in Water by Fluorophotometry with Chlorophyll-A Extraction from Microcystis aeruginosa Instead of Chlorophyll Standard Substance

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microcystis aeruginosa is common in freshwater lakes, and developed easy. Instead of chlorophyll standard substance, fresh chlorophyll extraction from Microcystis aeruginosa applied to the determination of chlorophyll-a in water by fluorophotometry. Thus the relationship between concentration of chlorophyll-a and fluorescence intensity of Microcystis aeruginosa in water was established. The fluorescence intensity responded with the concentration of chlorophyll-a extract linearly in the range of 30~1800 ug/L with a correlative coefficient of 0.9947. Comparision was made between chlorophyll standard and the chlorophyll-a extraction of Microcystis aeruginosa, and no significant difference was found. In certain range of pH value and time, chlorophyll-a extraction from Microcystis aeruginosa is stable, and can be used to reflect the growth of algae in water quick, conveniently and accurately.
