Abstract: 
Phototrophic microorganisms from two caves in Serbia (Podpeć and Stopić) were examined. Samples were taken from the entrances where natural light was present, as well as from the inside caves near artificial light (lampenflora community). Cyanobacteria, Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta and Xanthophyta were documented, with 51 taxa in total. The highest number of taxa recorded in the Cyanobacteria were coccoid cyanobacteria; Gleocapsa and Chroococcus were dominant. According to the redundancy analysis (RDA), Cyanobacteria were dominant at cave entrances while other groups (Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta and Xanthophyta) were documented in lampenflora samples. Temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity were measured, as well as chlorophyll a concentrations and biofilm parameters (water, organic and inorganic matter content). Ecological parameters did not show significant variation, while light intensity de-pended on the position of sampling sites. RDA showed that the water content was...
