Phosphorus is generally considered the limiting nutrient for algae growth in the aquatic environment. The phosphorus uptake for algae can give information for bioavailability-P. The contribution of phosphorous to bioavailability was evaluated using uptake-P in water solution under anaerobic conditions. The more is the incubation time, the more is the phosphate bioavailability. The maximum bioavailability occurred at 14 days with a phosphate concentration of 50 ppm resulting in P-available of 18.41 ppm. There was a linear correlation between P-available with P-medium with R2 = 0.97. The phosphorus bioavailability can be resulted from the equation: [P-Available] = 0.3789 x [P-medium]. The phosphate absorbed by the algae Oscillatoria sp in anaerobic conditions with initial concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ppm was 5.46, 8.65, 11.63, 17.99 and 18.41 ppm, respectively. The maximum efficiency adsorption occurred in the concentration of 30 ppm with 49.18% adsorption.
