Butler University Botanical Studies (1929-1964) Edited by J. E. Potzger The Butler University Botanical Studies journal was published by the Botany Department of Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana, from 1929 to 1964. The scientific journal featured original papers primarily on plant ecology, taxonomy, and microbiology. The papers contain valuable historical studies, especially floristic surveys that document Indiana’s vegetation in past decades. Authors were Butler faculty, current and former master’s degree students and undergraduates, and other Indiana botanists. The journal was started by Stanley Cain, noted conservation biologist, and edited through most of its years of production by Ray C. Friesner, Butler’s first botanist and founder of the department in 1919. The journal was distributed to learned societies and libraries through exchange. During the years of the journal’s publication, the Butler University Botany Department had an active program of research and student training. 201 bachelor’s degrees and 75 master’s degrees in Botany were conferred during this period. Thirty-five of these graduates went on to earn doctorates at other institutions. The Botany Department attracted many notable faculty members and students. Distinguished faculty, in addition to Cain and Friesner , included John E. Potzger, a forest ecologist and palynologist, Willard Nelson Clute, co-founder of the American Fern Society, Marion T. Hall, former director of the Morton Arboretum, C. Mervin Palmer, Rex Webster, and John Pelton. Some of the former undergraduate and master’s students who made active contributions to the fields of botany and ecology include Dwight. W. Billings, Fay Kenoyer Daily, William A. Daily, Rexford Daudenmire, Francis Hueber, Frank McCormick, Scott McCoy, Robert Petty, Potzger, Helene Starcs, and Theodore Sperry. Cain, Daubenmire, Potzger, and Billings served as Presidents of the Ecological Society of America. Requests for use of materials, especially figures and tables for use in ecology text books, from the Butler University Botanical Studies continue to be granted.

[email protected] 2Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, S.C. (CIBNOR), Mar Bermejo 195, Col. Playa Palo de Santa Rita, La Paz, B.C.S. 23090, Mexico Abstract: Arid mangroves constitute a particular biotope, with very extreme variations in ecological conditions, mainly temperature and salinity, condition that demand specific adaptations to successfully inhabit this ecosystem. Cyanoprokaryotes have not been well studied in Mexican coasts and this is the first study that contributes to the knowledge of the biodiversity of this group in an arid mangrove in Zacatecas estuary, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Samples of Avicennia germinans pneumatophores from Zacatecas estuary were collected between May 2005 and May 2006. The identification of the most representative Chroococcales produced 10 morphotypes, described mor- phologically and digitally registered for the first time for Mexico. We report species of Aphanocapsa, Chroococ- cus, Hydrococcus, Chamaecalyx, Dermocarpella and Xenococcus. Some taxa have been recorded in brackish or even marine environments from other regions, evidencing the wide geographical distribution and ecological adapt- ability of these organisms, but some others are probably new to science. Some species have a specific seasonal and vertical distribution on the pneumatophore but other have a more ample distribution.

In this study Cyanobacteria species of Mogan Lake, Beytepe Pond and Delice River were taxonomically investigated. The cyanobacteria specimens have been collected by monthly intervals from Mogan Lake and Beytepe Pond between October 2010 and September 2011. For the Delice River the laboratory samples which were collected by montly intervals between July 2007-May 2008 have been evaluated.Totally 15 genus and 41 taxa were identified, 22 species from Mogan lake, 19 species from Beytepe pond and 13 species from Delice river respectively. During the study species like Planktolyngbya limnetica and Aphanocapsa incerta were frequently observed for all months in Mogan Lake, Chrococcus turgidus and Chrococcus minimus were abundant in Beytepe Pond while Kamptonema formosum was dominant in Delice River. As a result species diversity and density were generally rich in Mogan Lake during fall and summer season while very low in the Delice River during winter season. 1. Introduction Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are microscopic bacteria found in freshwater lakes, streams, soil and moistened rocks. Even though they are bacteria, cyanobacteria are too small to be seen by the naked eye, they can grow in colonies which are large enough to see. When algae grows too much it can form “blooms”, which can cause various problems.

The cyanobacteria distribution in water from two different stations of Southern India were analysed at four months interval during the period of July 2002 to June 2004. The cyanobacteria population in the vicinity was analyzed using the physico-chemical factors like pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, calcium, magnesium, total phosphorus, inorganic phosphorus, sulphate, sulphite, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, silicate, iron, zinc, copper and manganese and algal flora (qualitative) were also studied and compared their variations among the three different freshwater bodies. In addition, biological parameters such as primary production gross primary productivity, net primary productivity and community respiration rate were also studied.

  • Preliminary Survey of the Terrestrial Algae of Schirmacher Oasis, Antarctica
    PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF THE TERRESTRIAL ALGAE OF SCHIRMACHER OASIS, ANTARCTICA A.K. Kashyap Department of Botany Banaras Hindu University Varanasi 221 005 The Schirmacher Oasis (Maitri Hills) was visited during 27th December, 1986 toFrebruary 11,1987 to study the terrestrial algal flora. Two hundred sixty eight samples of algae were collected from 15 different sites. They were subjected to microscopic observations within twenty four hours of collection and detailed morphological features of the representative genera were recorded. Sixteen genera of algae belonging to Cyanophyceae (12), Chlorophyceae (2) and Bacillariophyceae (2) were observed . Among the Cyanophyceae a total to 25 species have been recorded. For the sake of convenience, the algae growing in the above area was divided into three habitats and their systematic position has been mentioned in the table appended. The results showed that nearly 80% of the collected samples contained nitrogen fixing forms suggesting that such forms are widely distributed in Schirmacher Oasis. It was of interest to note that no spore forming blue-green algae was encountered. Instead all forms growing in the region and thick, tough and pigmented mucilage around the cells or trichomes. The common means of propagation in these algae seems to be fragmentation or formation of hormogones. 71 Totally desiccated mats of blue-green algae were brought to laboratory following expedition and were subjected to nitrogen fixation studies. Rates of acetylene reduction by wet mats of Nostoc commune ranged between 86.3 ± 3.6 and 12.6 ± 3.3 pmol C2H4/ug Chl a/h at 4°C (light intensity 1000 lux approx.) under light and dark conditions respectively.

R. (2014): Taxonomic classification of cyanoprokaryotes (cyanobacterial genera) 2014, using a polyphasic approach. – Preslia 86: 295–335. The whole classification of cyanobacteria (species, genera, families, orders) has undergone exten- sive restructuring and revision in recent years with the advent of phylogenetic analyses based on molecular sequence data. Several recent revisionary and monographic works initiated a revision and it is anticipated there will be further changes in the future. However, with the completion of the monographic series on the Cyanobacteria in Süsswasserflora von Mitteleuropa, and the recent flurry of taxonomic papers describing new genera, it seems expedient that a summary of the modern taxonomic system for cyanobacteria should be published. In this review, we present the status of all currently used families of cyanobacteria, review the results of molecular taxonomic studies, descriptions and characteristics of new orders and new families and the elevation of a few subfamilies to family level.

Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Jan Kaštovský, Ph.D. Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic České Budějovice 2015 This thesis should be cited as: Bohunická, M. (2015) Towards a modern revision of the cyanobacteria, a critically important prokaryotic phylum. Ph.D. Thesis Series, No. 5. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 235 pp. ANNOTATION With an adoption of modern methods of polyphasic approach to the study of cyanobacteria, an increased demand for the revision of the traditional taxonomy has emerged. This thesis is devoted to the systematic revisions of selected terrestrial cyanobacteria at several taxonomic levels. The methodology included thorough morphological characterization of cultured cyanobacterial strains using light and electron microscopy complemented with analyses of the molecular data: DNA sequencing, phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and the adjacent 16S-23S ITS region, and comparison of the predicted secondary structures of this region. Descriptions of new species, genera, families and an in-depth characterization of a previously poorly known family were achieved.
