Popis:	Diatoms isolated from mucilage blooms which emerged in the Adriatic Sea during summer 1988, were put in culture and then later, identified as Amphora coffeaeformis var. perpusilla (GRUN.) Cleve. Experiments of growth in orthophosphate and nitrate enrichment led to noticeable variations in the mucilage production. In this paper we propose a benthonic origin for the Adriatic mucilages, due to the presence of considerably more nitrates rather than phosphates.
