Abstract
The inhibition of Chlorophyta growth in water needed to be treated can be accomplished by the addition of about 100 ppm glucosamine. The inhibition of Microcystic aeruginosa and Microcystis flos-aquae growth in water needed to be treated can be accomplished by the addition of about 10 to 50 ppm glucosamine. The addition of glucosamine to water needed to be treated, such as reservoirs, offers an environmentally safe method for inhibiting algae growth.
