Abstract

The deep ultraviolet fluorescence characteristics of several cyanobacteria and microalgae are analyzed and exploited for their discrimination in liquid samples. The proposed approach is based on relative fluorescence peak amplitude of natural pigments in cyanobacteria or other planktonic species commonly present in water bodies. The experimental results demonstrate a clear discrimination between the various species of cyanobacteria and other planktonic species. This approach can be simply implemented in fluorescence measurement systems for real-time detection of cyanobacteria, provided that they are able to operate in deep ultraviolet.
