    Akar, Zeynep; Akar, Bülent; Şahin, Bülent

    Algae contain a large amount of biological active compounds functioning as antioxidant,antimicrobial and anti-tumour. In the present research, antioxidant activity of freshwateralga Microspora sp. (Chlorophyta) extract prepared in different solvents (methanol,acetonitrile, ethanol, acetone and ethyl acetate) was determined with three differentmethods; 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•), Iron (III) Reduction / AntioxidantPower (FRAP) Assay and Copper (II) Reductive Antioxidant Activity (CUPRAC). Thealga samples collected from the high mountain lake (2733 m above sea level) localized inGümüşhane province of Turkey. The algal extracts prepared in different solvents showedantioxidant activity. The values of DPPH• varied from 8.97% (in acetonitrile extract) to31.15% (in methanol extract). As in the DPPH• method, the lowest and highest values inthe FRAP method were measured based on μM TEAC (Trolox Equivalent AntioxidantCapacity) in methanol and acetonitrile extracts as 60.303 μM and 359.394 μM respectively.While the lowest value of CUPRAC test was determined in acetonitrile extract (0.041 μMTEAC ) as in the other tests, highest value was measured in ethanol extract (0.101 μMTEAC ). The values of highest antioxidant activity in both DPPH• and FRAP methodswas measured in the methanol solvent whilst was determined in the ethanol solvent forCUPRAC.

    Karagöl- Sahara Milli Parkı ndaki (Şavşat-Artvin/Türkiye) Karagöl den yeni desmid kayıtları

    Akar, Bülent; Şahin, Bülent

    The benthic algal flora of Karagöl Lake (Şavşat, Artvin) was investigated between October 2008 and September 2010.Actinotaenium diplosporum var. americanum, Cosmarium pseudoexiguum, Gonatozygon kinahanii, Staurastrum boreale var.quadriradiatum, S. hantzschii and Staurodesmus dejectus var. apiculatus were recorded for the first time for the desmid floraof Turkey.
