Abstract Karosienė J., Kasperovičienė J., 2012: Peculiarities of epiphyton algal communities formation on different macrophyte species [Skirtingų makrofitų rūšių epifitono dumblių bendrijų formavimosi ypatumai]. - Bot. Lith., 18(2): 154-163. The epiphyton on different aquatic vegetation represented by emerged macrophytes (Phragmites australis, Equisetum fluviatile, Schoenoplectus lacustris), floating-leaved plants (Nuphar luteum) and submerged macrophytes (Potamogeton perfoliatus, Chara rudis) was studied in two meso- and mesoeutrophic lakes. The morphological characteristics, physiological and synecological peculiarities of plant host had more effect on epiphyton algae abundance and biomass than species richness. The highest densities of algae were associated with helophytes Phragmites australis, Equisetum fluviatile, the lowest was recorded on Schoenoplectus lacustris and laminae of Nuphar luteum. Loosely attached diatoms prevailed on helophytes, adnate species on Nuphar luteum laminae. Cyanobacteria and green algae were more abundant on Nuphar luteum laminae and Potamogeton perfoliatus.
