In particular, the thermal waters of the Aegean Region are remarkable geothermal fields which has with different physicochemical parameters. There are studies in the literature of our country regarding thermal water algae flora. On the other hand, considering the multitude of thermal waters in our country this number is insufficient. This study has been done in order to make up this deficiency in the literature. Within the scope of the study, sampling was performed periodically for 12 months, and species composition have been determined. In this paper, a total of 27 taxa have been identified (21 Cyanobacteria, 5 Bacillariophyceae and 1 Conjugatophyceae). The thermal algae diversity which is distributed in the Germencik (Alangüllü) thermal water source has been tried to be determined.engAraştırma Makalesi
