- Water activity is a better index for microbial growth than water content since microorganism only uses available water of the food sample. Some factors affecting the responses of microorganisms to water activity are the production of metabolites, taxonomic classification and solute concentration.
As they rise through the water column, these algae take up nitrogen and can attain bloom levels by the time they reach the surface. Just controlling external inputs of phosphorus may have a limited impact on Microcystis and its negative effects, depending on the ecosystemâs internal reserves of phosphorus. Figure 2.esearchers also focused more on the role of phosphorus because it is much less available than nitrogen to plants and animals in the freshwater environment, and thus considered a more important factor that limits growth.
