Summary
Triton-N surfactants can combat algal parasites Phlyctidium scenedesmi (Fott) and Phlyctidium sp. Triton N-57 inhibits temporarily the growth of Scenedesmus acutus Meyen and Scenedesmus acuminatus (Lagerh./Shod.) and later stimulates it. This surfactant can be used in producing healthy inoculum as a starting material for mass algal cultures. A medium formulation was developed for maintenance of parasites in laboratory.
