In order to speed the flow of information, the attached
translation is being forwarded to you-without having been checked by our
revisors.
This shortcut is only -being used in those cases where we are
reasonably confident that the translator himself has checked his translation
against the original. It is, of course, always better to have translations
revised, but the increasing volume of demand would cause delays in letting
you have the information you require if it all had to be checked by our revisors.
Saould you have any questions or points needing clarification,
please do not hesitatate to return this translation to us, together with
the original text and a letter explaining your problem.

Water basins are the common habitat of algae. Algae live in the
water itself" as well as at the bottom of the basins 'Ulu the former instance they form part of plankton (i.e of the community of organisas which
live in a suspended state in water), in the latter they form part of benthos (i.e.
a
the comunity of forms closely associated in life with the
bottom of water reservoirs)e‘Hollerbak.h„ Polyanskyi,1951). Both plankton
and benthos algae must have a number of spec.ialized adaptations. One of
such adaptations is their a.bility to inhabit biotopes with diverse concentrations of orga.nic matter. The purpose of this wo:t.-k is to investigate
the
pattern of distribution of saprobes -under plankton and benthos conditions.
Methods
The author has studied a number of sources dealing with saprobity
of algae ( Kolkmitz, Marsson, 1908; Dolgov, 1926; Dolgov,
1927; Zbadin„ Rodina„ 19 .50;

The author has at his c'dsposal data on saprobity of 140 taxa of pla,nkton
algae and 70 taxa of benthos algae. All these data were entered on punched
card.s„. Ridits,• lee, values compared On the basis of the weight with regard to
the distribution e were ca.1 culat ed. for each index (Bro ss „ 1958 ) Ridits of sapro —
bic categories are define d by the au th or in his paper Sapro. bity

s and discussion
All the data on plankten and benthos saprobes are presented in Tables
1 and 2,
Corresponding ridits and their confidence limits (Lae the limits of
sufficient reliability of the ridits) are shown in Table 3 o
Algae of various taxonomie groups vary in their rea.ction to the quantity
of osygen., carbon dioxide, hyd.rogen sulphide, various rtitrogen cmpounds and
other biogenic elements dissolved in water,
The concentration of the organic
matter and the transparency are equally important factors of the environment
of aquatic organians„ The direction in which these factors . change when the
saprobity of the water increase's, is identical to that observed when moving
closer to the bottom of the water basili c, This circumstance is also reftected in
the distribution of plankton and bentho s s apro b es (see th e awing ),
1967),Oonf.idectrvalsw uedth
3
The volume of algal communities is often. too mail t,o provide the required confidence probability level. Such c °muted ti e s are not included in the
conclusions, because only a 95% confidence interval is regarded as sufficiently reliable in biometrics (Vohandu, l962)
Conclusion_qe
The taxa investigated are .distributed u,nevenly in the various categories of saprobity ( plankton algae - oli go saprobeS7p -dues° sap ro be
0<. -meso sapro
• bes» polysaprobes; benthos algae - oligo saprobesq -Mesosaprobes»I -meso saprobes 7polysaorobes) e
•
The total saprobity .of benthos algae is considerabl.y greater than that
of plankters e
Saprobity of benthos di atoms 5 green, euglenic and, particularly, blue -
green a:i.gae is greater than the saprobity of plankters of these types.
The effect of the planktonic and benthic environment on the sauyobity
of Chrysophyta, Pyrrophyta and Conjugatophytina remains indeterminate, aince the
data available are insufficient for reliable conclusions.
