Organic pollution impact on the phytoplankton of a stream of the pampas plains
This paper analyzes the influence of water quality on phytoplankton, focusing on the euglenoid assemblages of a periurban stream in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), strongly impacted by urban and industrial wastewater. The ICA water quality index (Berón 1984) calculated for the main channel...

This paper analyzes the influence of water quality on phytoplankton, focusing on the euglenoid assemblages of a periurban stream in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), strongly impacted by urban and industrial wastewater.

In addition, in some of the sampled sites, water quality indicators exceeded the ranges established by national standards. The phytoplankton was dominated by chlorophytes, with codominance of cyanobacteria and euglenophytes.
