Abstract :
The method of detecting dehydrogenase activity (DHA) of algae in fresh water was studied. The determining conditions were researched with respect to TTC concentration, incubating temperature and duration, and selection of extractants. Compared with the method of chlorophyll a, it performed a better precision, and was easy and simple to practice.
