SUMMARY Epipelic and Epilithic Algal Flora of the Değirmendere River (Trabzon) The algae of Değirmendere (Trabzon) river were investigated in the samples collected from different habitats (epipelic, epilithic) in five stations between October 1998- September 1999. The flora consisted of 74 taxa belonging to Bacillariophyta (52), Chlorophyta (10), Cyanophyta (9) and Euglenophyta (3). Bacillariophyta was dominant in the algal flora. Melosira varians, Amphora ovalis, Cocconeis placentula var. eugtypta, Ceratoneis arcus, Cymbella minuta, Didymoshenia geminata, Navicula odiosa, Surirella ovata ve Synedra ulna were the most conspicuous taxa in the algal flora.
