ABSTRACT

Papers deals with the results of study of a number of water bodies situated in the recreational zone of Kiev (Lakes Raduga and Telbin, Galerny Bay of the Dnieper, Venetian and Rusanovsky Channels, and the site of Kiev Reservoir near the dam). Totally 138 species (145 infraspecific taxa) of algae were revealed. The most diverse in terms of species composition were divisions Chlorophyta (49 species with 51 infraspecific taxa), Cyanophyta (40 species with 43 taxa) and Bacilariophyta (20 species). Cryptomonas nasuta Pascher is the new record for Ukraine. The greatest number of species was found in Lake Raduga and Galerny Bay. Analysis of distribution of species-indicators in zones of saprobity, and average values of saprobity induces testify that studied water bodies belong to β-mesosaprobic zone.
