Abstract

<p> In the euphotic layer of a dam lake (reservoir), we discovered a phenomenon that hydroxylamine (NH2OH) accumulates at a high concentration at the same time as the increase in Chl-a, which is an indicator of phytoplankton biomass. Therefore, to investigate the presence or absence of NH2OH production by phytoplankton, we conducted a culture experiment using a single sterile strain of cyanobacteria isolated from the dam lake. Our results confirmed that NH2OH increased with the increase in Chl-a, and the ability of cyanobacteria to produce NH2OH was clarified. This result suggests that NH2OH detected in the euphotic layer during the dominance of cyanobacteria in summer is produced by the cyanobacteria.</p>
