โฆ Synopsis
Seasonal. local and monthly vertical variations in physical and chemical characteristics of Aswan
High Dam Lake (AHDL) were followed during the period from March 1982 to February 1984 . The results show that there were distinct seasonal thermal variations . Similarly. thermal stratification was evident from late spring through early autumn . Oxygen content appeared t o vary with the changes in pH value . Water transparency in the southern part was greatly reduced by the incoming silt laden flood especially in summer months . consequently. nitrate-nitrogen and total residue increased considerably in this part during summer . The recorded minimum N-concentration ( 2 . 3 5 ~8 1-1) was certainly limiting the growth of phytoplankton . Suspended and organic matter exhibited somewhat irregular variations a t least during the period of this study . 2 2 Int . Revue ges . Hydrobiol . 74 (1989) 3

Monthly variations of some physical and chemical characteristics of Sile waters at Assiut (373 km south from Cairo, Egypt) during the period from September 1980 to September 1982 were followed and discudsed. As expected, the maximum temperature was recorded in summer and the minimum in winter. The p
485 isolates were recorded from different localitlies between summer 1984 and spring 1985. Thesc isolates comprise five different genera with eight different species of purple non-sulfur bacteria: Rhodopt~eudomona.v was the most comnion genus a t ill1 sites and was represented by three species, H. a
