Abstract

In this study, Chara vulgaris samples were taken from Gölbaşı Lake/Adıyaman at different times (October, February, April, June). Total phenolic and pigment contents of these samples were examined. It was determined that total phenolic and pigment contents (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids) showed seasonal differences. It was detected that chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids were high in June, and low in April. In addition, phenolic compounds were found to be high in February, and low in April.
