Folks,
I'm still new to this site and I'm very interested to understand things which is partly why I like this site so much. I've got a couple of very simple questions. How does algae die and what is the process? What happens to the chlorophyll? Does the chlorine react with the strong + charge of the cell wall proteins that keeps the single cells from clumping up when they're alive or is there some other mechanism? The more I read about the killing of algae and filtration the more questions I have. So I thought I'd start at the beginning (or maybe the end from the algae cell's point of view).
Thanks in advance.
Chris
