pathway inhibitor namely tris 25 mm was added to the pond periodic cell count readings were carried out for a span of two months the diatom and the algal cell count were then determined using the cellometer technique at the end of the 2 month span the algae cell count was found to be 5300 cells meter and the diatom cell count was found to be 580 cells meter this clearly shows that the algae cell count is not affected by the presence of urea cycle pathway inhibitor rather it aids the algal growth simultaneously drastically reducing the diatom cell count from 2000 cells meter to 580 cells meter the diatom cell count of the pond in the present disclosure was reduced by 71 as compared to the cell count of diatoms on day 1 as illustrated in table 2 u201c whenever a range of numerical values is specified a value up to 50 below and above the lowest and highest numerical value respectively of the specified range is included in the scope of the disclosure unless there is a statement in the specification specific to the contrary u201d while considerable emphasis has been placed herein on the preferred embodiments it will be appreciated that many embodiments can be made and that many changes can be made in the preferred embodiments without departing from the principles of the disclosure these and other changes in the preferred embodiments as well as other embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein.
