Tuz Gölü Özel Çevre Koruma Bölgesi Göllerinde Alg Çeşitliliği ve Potansiyel Siyanobakteri Toksisitesi

Jeolojik bakımdan tektonik bir yapıya sahip olan Tuz Gölü Özel Çevre Koruma Bölgesi, Ramsar ölçütlerine göre biyolojik çeşitliliğin korunması açısından büyük önem taşıyan “A Sınıfı” bir sulak alandır ve uluslararası ölçütlere göre korunmaktadır. Büyük bir sahayı kaplamasına karşın Türkiye’nin en sığ göllerine sahip olan Tuz Gölü Özel Çevre Koruma Bölgesi, yıllık ortalama 324 mm/m2 yağış miktarı ile ülkenin en kurak coğrafyasında yer almaktadır. Çalışmada bu göllerde yaşayan Cyanophyta, Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta ve Euglenophyta gruplarına ait türler teşhis edilmiştir. Porphyrosiphon versicolor 1,08 mg/L ile siyanotoksin üreten türler arasında en yoğun tür olarak belirlenmiştir. Tuz Gölü Özel Çevre Koruma Bölgesi’nde çeşitli kuş türlerinin besinini teşkil eden Artemia salina ve mikroskobik alglerden özellikle Dunaliella salina ile bazı diyatome ve siyanobakteri türleri bol miktarda bulunur. Fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri bakımından aylara göre farklılık gösteren aşırı tuzlu bu ortamda halofilik türler bulunmaktadır.

Algal Diversity and Potential Cyanobacteria Toxicity in Tuz Lake Special Environmental Protection Area Lakes

Tuz Lake Special Environmental Protection Area, which has a tectonic structure in terms of geology, is a "Class A" wetland, which is of great importance for the protection of biological according to Ramsar criteria, and is protected according to international criteria. Although Tuz Lake Special Environmental Protection Area covers a large area, which has the shallowest lakes in Türkiye, is located in the driest geography of the country with an average annual precipitation of 324 mm/m2. In the study, species belonging to the Cyanophyta, Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, and Euglenophyta groups living in these lakes have been identified. Porphyrosiphon versicolor was determined as the most concentrated species among the cyanotoxin producing species with 1.08 mg/L. In Tuz Lake Special Environmental Protection Area, Artemia salina, which is the food of various bird species, and especially Dunaliella salina, which is one of the microscopic algae, and some diatom and cyanobacteria species are abundantly distributed. There are halophilic species in this extremely salty area, which differs according to the months in terms of physical and chemical properties.
