  • Title: Suppression of nitrogen fixation by blue-green algae in a eutrophic lake with trace additions of copper.
    Author: Horne AJ, Goldman CR.
    Journal: Science; 1974 Feb 01; 183(4123):409-11. PubMed ID: 17781930.
    Abstract:
    Nitrogen fixation by blue-green algae in highly eutrophic Clear Lake, California, was severely inhibited by trace amounts of copper. The chelation capacity of the lake is probably saturated by indigenous copper. Additions were only 1/200 of those normally used in algal control. Since nitrogen fixation provides half of the lake's annual nitrogen budget, economical eutrophication control appears possible.
