The physiological ecology responses of periphyton in the high course of the Santa Maria da Vitória (ES) river had been evaluated during one year, in two stations. The determined environmental variables had been: temperature, transparency, euphotic zone, depth, pH, OD, electric conductivity, STD, NO2 -, NO3 -, total-N, PO4 - and total-P. The Periphyton in natural substratum was evaluated through the biomass, chemical composition and structure of the algae community and classified through the autotrophic and Lakatos indexs. The river presented acid to slight acid waters, low electric conductivity and STD. OD, transparency and euphotic zone was raised. The total-N was high, had been compared with the ones of P, resulting in raised ratio NT/PT, evidencing an environment limited for P. The ACP showed distinction between the stations. It had difference of the periphytic biomass between the two stations explained, mainly, for the availability of nutrients. They had been registered 147 taxa of algae. Zygnemaphyceae was the Class most representative, qualitatively, in the station 1 and Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae in station 2. Bigger density was attributed to the Bacillariophyceae in the station 1 and Cyanophyceae in station 2. Zygnemaphyceae presented greater biovolume in the station 1 and Bacillariophyceae in station 2. During all the sampling period, in both the stations, the community was classified as heterotrophic and of low biomass. Station 1 presented trend to the trophic degree minor if compared station 2. This difference was the main factor that influenced the biomass and structure of the algae community, that if it showed limited, mainly, for P.
