The pH of the water
Blue- green and green algae assessed reproduced favorably towards alkaline side of the medium (Table 12). The sporulation of Anabaena fertilissima in the range of higher alkalinity was the ecological strategy for the alga to resist the competition offered by Anabaenopsis arnoldii occurring in the same lake (Table 12).

Pollution
Pollution of water of any type is detrimental to reproduction of almost all algae assessed (Table 13). Although iron at some low levels was needed for hormogonia formation in Calothrix (Douglas et al. 1986) and akinete formation in Gloeotrichia (Sinclair and whitton 1977) and boron at some low levels for reproduction in Dictyota (Nasr and Bekheet (1970) and Fucus (McLachlan 1977), trace elements and heavy metals (molybdenum, manganese, cobalt, zinc, iron, nickel, copper, boron, lead, mercury) proved to be very toxic and inhibited reproduction in different algae assessed (Table 13).
Natural or synthetic antibiotics (actinomycin, rifampicin, amoxicilline, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, mitomycin-c, cycloheximide, puromycin, streptomycin, and penicillin); pesticides (carbofuran, gammaxine, iralon, rogor, phorate, DDT, captan, endosulfan, moticop, phosalone); herbicides (2,4-D, butachlor, DCMU, phenylurethane); detergent and surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate); an organosulfur compound thiourea; hydrocarbon gases (acetylene, ethylene); mutagen 5- bromouracil; metabolic poison (2,4- dinitrophenol, 2,4- dinitrophenyl hydrazine); carcinogen azaserine; sewage water, fertilizer factory effluent, industrial and municipal effluents (containing different heavy metals, and ammonia, chloride, sulfate, sulfide, etc.); crude oil; benzene; phenol; toluene; all, at different levels were inhibitory to reproduction in different algae assessed (Table 13).
