Sustainable Development of Algal Biofuels The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal govern- ment on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its ad- ministration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also spon- sors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertain- ing to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Acad- emy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to as- sociate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the Na- tional Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council. www.national-academies.org Copyright © National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

  • Excessive Growth of Euglena Sp. and Its Effect on Shallow-Water Ponds
    Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications Vol 14 No (2) April-May-June 2021 Ecological Communication Excessive Growth of Euglena sp. and its Effect on Shallow-Water Ponds Surajit Majumder* Department of Zoology, Bankura Sammilani College, Bankura, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT The Bankura town of district Bankura, West Bengal, India is full of lentic water bodies like pond, reservoir and water tank etc. In these lentic water bodies, some are perennial. Most of the rest waterbodies are seasonal. Out of these, a large number of waterbodies are partly seasonal; that means, these waterbodies can retain the water to some extent during winter to summer, but the water level become low due to various causes. We referred this type of waterbodies as shallow- water pond. And the ultimate rest type of waterbodies is totally seasonal and get dried during winter to summer season. Our point of interest is to compare between the perennial and shallow-waterponds of Bankura town. The fish yield from the shallow-waterponds of Bankura town is quiet low. On the contrary, in the perennial ponds where the water depth is minimum 3-4 metre, do not face this problem at all. Till today it is said that, in Bankura town the pisciculture is less efficient due to various natural and anthropogenic causes. But the actual cause was unknown till date. After studying various physico-chemical and hydrobiological parameters following standard methods of APHA we have observed a remarkable change in these shallow-water ponds especially during that season. A rapid and exceptionally dense accumulation of algae (Euglena sp.) was observed floating over these shallow-water ponds.

    Euglenida Brian S. Leander, Gordon Lax, Anna Karnkowska, and Alastair G. B. Simpson Abstract Euglenids are a group of >1500 described species of single-celled flagellates with diverse modes of nutrition, including phagotrophy and photoautotrophy. The group also encompasses a clade of specialist “primary” osmotrophs (Aphagea) and, very likely, one group of phagotrophs that are ectosymbiont-supporting anaerobes (Symbiontida). Almost all euglenids are free-living. The (usually) one or two emergent flagella have thick paraxonemal (paraxial) rods and originate in a deep pocket/reservoir, while the cell surface is almost always supported by a pellicle of parallel proteinaceous strips underlain by microtubules. Cells with 4–12 strips are rigid; most of those with more strips (typically ~20–40) have them arranged helically and exhibit active cell deformation called “euglenid motion” or “metaboly.” Most phagotrophic euglenids are surface-associated bacterivores or eukaryovores that employ a flagellar gliding motility; they are abundant in marine and freshwater sediments. Photoautotrophic species (Euglenophyceae) constitute a single subclade within euglenids and have a plastid (chloroplast) of secondary endosymbiotic origin, with three bounding membranes. The plastid is typically green, with chlorophylls a + b, and was derived from a chloroplastidan alga related to the Pyramimonadales. Photoautotrophic euglenids move primarily by swimming, and most (members of the taxon Euglenales, e.g., Euglena) have a single emergent flagellum and are generally restricted to fresh and brackish waters.

  • International Phycological Congress
    Abstracts of papers to be presented at the 10th International Phycological Congress Orlando, Florida, USA 4-10 August 2013 Held under the auspices of the International Phycological Society Edited by: M. Dennis Hanisak, James A. Nienow & Akshinthala K. S. K. Prasad Copies of the abstracts will be provided to registered delegates at the 10th International Phycological Congress. The abstracts are arranged in alphabetical order by first author, presenting authors are listed in bold. Phycologia Journal of the International Phycological Society Volume 52, Number 4, supplement July 2013 Description of the Congress Logo The three macroalgae in the logo represent the three major taxa of eukaryotic macroalgae; all are native to Florida. The central position of Halymenia floridana J. Agardh [Halimenia floridana] in the logo represents phycologists coming together in Florida. The other two algae represent the international nature of Phycology and the IPC. The alga forming the base of the logo is Caulerpa mexicana Sonder ex Kützing. While named for its type locality in the country of Mexico, it is found not only in Mexico and Florida, but also in warm waters of many other parts of the world. Bracketing the logo along both sides is Sargassum natans (Linnaeus) Gaillon, a pelagic macroalga found throughout the North Atlantic; as is the case with phycology, individuals of this species know no national boundaries. The images were modified from C. W. Schneider and R.B. Searles‘s 1991 monograph Seaweeds of the Southeastern United States: Cape Hatteras to Cape Canaveral, with their kind permission. Charles D.
