Abstract

Here, we report a laboratory experiment performed with the water from the Don river. Our aim was to examine the effect of NH4VO3 in concentrations of 0.5, 5, 25, and 100 ?g/L of Vanadium (V) on the phytoplankton growth indicators in the absence of their growth limitation by Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P), as well as on the metabolism intensity indicators of plankton communities: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA). The stimulating effect on the phytoplankton abundance and biomass for each of the used V concentration was recorded. The greatest phytoplankton abundance and biomass increase (26% and 42%, respectively) was noted at V concentrations of 5 ?g/L. The stimulating effect on the phytoplankton growth indicators decreased with an increase of V concentration to 25 and 100 ?g/L. With an increase in concentration to 25 and 100 ?g/L the stimulating effect of V on the phytoplankton growth indicators decreased. The greatest stimulating effect was noted for green algae, the abundance and biomass of which increased by 79-114% and 75-87%, respectively, after the addition of V. An increase in the rate of consumption of N and P mineral forms with an increase in the concentration of V was noted, which serves as an indirect confirmation of V stimulating effect on phytoplankton. A small stimulating effect of V (15-30%) was also noted in certain observation periods for BOD5. In contrast to phytoplankton abundance and biomass and BOD5, APA decreased by 20-40% after the increase of V concentration and the exposure time.
