Sharma** Microbial Bioprospecting Laboratory Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development Takyelpat, Imphal-795001, Manipur, INDIA ** Department of Life science, Assam University, Silchar, Assam *Corresponding author email : [email protected] Abstract Cyanobacteria have an ancient history dating almost 3.5 billion years and diversified extensively to become one of the most successful and ecologically significant organisms on earth, with respect to longevity of lineage and impact on earth’s early environment. Despite the availability of various monograph based on morphological and ecological variants, the identification and classification of cyanobacteria remain a difficult and confusing task leading to uncertain identifications. Therefore, molecular approaches based on PCR techniques and DNA fingerprinting have been adopted for taxonomical studies. Molecular markers such as RAPD, RFLP and AFLP are used for the PCR techniques. Keywords: Non-heterocystous, cyanobacteria, molecular characterization. Introduction Cyanobacteria are an ancient group of prokaryotic aided by the presence of exopolysaccharides such microorganisms exhibiting the general as mucilage and / or a firm sheath. The presence characteristics of gram-negative bacteria. They or absence of a heterocyst is an important feature are unique among the prokaryotes in possessing separating genera. However, gas vacuoles, the capacity of oxygenic photosynthesis. structures that aid buoyancy, are found in species Cyanobacteria are a morphologically diverse group of many different genera.

  • Changing Ethnic Boundaries
    Changing Ethnic Boundaries: Politics and Identity in Bolivia, 2000–2010 Submitted by Anaïd Flesken to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ethno–Political Studies in October 2012 This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. Signature: …………………………………………………………. Abstract The politicization of ethnic diversity has long been regarded as perilous to ethnic peace and national unity, its detrimental impact memorably illustrated in Northern Ireland, former Yugo- slavia or Rwanda. The process of indigenous mobilization followed by regional mobilizations in Bolivia over the past decade has hence been seen with some concern by observers in policy and academia alike. Yet these assessments are based on assumptions as to the nature of the causal mechanisms between politicization and ethnic tensions; few studies have examined them di- rectly. This thesis systematically analyzes the impact of ethnic mobilizations in Bolivia: to what extent did they affect ethnic identification, ethnic relations, and national unity? I answer this question through a time-series analysis of indigenous and regional identification in political discourse and citizens’ attitudes in Bolivia and its department of Santa Cruz from 2000 to 2010. Bringing together literature on ethnicity from across the social sciences, my thesis first develops a framework for the analysis of ethnic change, arguing that changes in the attributes, meanings, and actions associated with an ethnic category need to be analyzed separately, as do changes in dynamics within an in-group and towards an out-group and supra-group, the nation.

Thanks to a successful agricultural business, among other things, the family has become one of the richest and most influential families in Bolivia. Some analysts link Branko Marinković's origins with his oppositional activities in Bolivia. This is due to the fact that Marinković compares the contemporary “Twenty-first century socialism” policies of Bolivian president Evo Morales with the communist policies of Tito in Yugoslavia.

(2018): Seeking the true Oscillatoria: a quest for a reliable phylogenetic and taxonomic reference point. – Preslia 90: 151–169. Reliable taxonomy of any group of organisms cannot be performed without phylogenetic refer- ence points. In the historical “morphological era”, a designated type specimen was considered fully sufficient but nowadays this principle can prove to be problematic and challenging espe- cially when studying microscopic organisms. However, within the last decades there has been tre- mendous advancement in microscopy imaging and molecular biology offering additional data to systematic studies in ways that are revolutionizing cyanobacterial taxonomy. Unfortunately, most of the existing herbarium specimens or even iconotypes of old established taxa often cannot be subjects of modern analytic methods. Such is the case for the widely known cyanobacterial genus Oscillatoria which was introduced by Vaucher in 1803.

(CYANOBACTERIA) NEWLY RECORDED OFF THE SOUTH-WEST COAST OF BANGLADESH ABDUL AZIZ*AND MAHIN MOHID Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh Keywords: Trichodesmium erythraeum Ehr., Microcoleaceae, Calyptra morphogenesis, Cyanobacteria, Bangladesh Abstract Trichodesmium erythraeum Ehrenberg 1830 (Cyanobacteria) has been described and newly recorded from three km off the west coast of the St. Martin’s Island (SMI), Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The Red Sea algal bloom was narrowly elliptical raft-like loose aggregates 20-40 cm long, 4-8 cm wide and 2-3 cm thick. Volume of small and large Sea sawdust were 160×10-6 to 960×10-6 m3 consisting of 25-153 millions flat tuft or spindle- like colonies measured 830-1500 µm long and 155-260 µm wide with 13-16 filaments laterally in the median region. Sheath was present around each trichome even covering the tip cell wall the feature has so far not been reported for the Trichodesmium spp. Because of most likely sticky nature of the sheath 300-600 µm long filaments of 195-450 formed compact colonies without colonial sheath around. In interior filaments cells were rectangular 7-10 µm long and 6.3-10 µm wide with abundant gas vacuoles, bluish-green red, no diazocyte developed and without calyptra. Cells of peripheral filaments were without gas vacuoles, cytoplasm disorganized, appearing necrotic with glycogen granules, and produced convex to sickle-shaped four-layered calyptra consisting of outermost sheath followed by outer extra thick wall, tip cell wall and inner extra thick wall on the tip cell.

  • Mari Tørå Hagli
    Mari Tørå Hagli From Christopher Columbus to Evo Morales Indigenous exclusion and inclusion in urban education in El Alto, Bolivia Master thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree Master of Multicultural and International Education (MIE) Spring, 2009 i Abstract This thesis looks into the educational system in Bolivia, with a main focus on the implementation of intercultural and bilingual education (EIB) in the urban areas. According to the current educational reform from 1994, Reforma Educativa, the education in the country is supposed to be intercultural and bilingual; however, little progress has been done to achieve this in the urban schools. The reasons for this are many, and there seemed to be a combination between a vague reform, a misconception of intercultural and bilingual education being meant for rural schools only, lack of competence and commitment from the teachers and resistance from the parents. Consequently, in the migrant city of El Alto, Aymara children do not receive the education they are entitled to. Moreover, they are deprived of their indigenous language, culture and traditions, both in the school and, for many, in the homes. The result is an already observable language and cultural shift among the migrant population. Another consequence is that the castellanización or forced assimilation process towards the indigenous groups continues through alienation and exclusion of their language, culture, history and knowledge. In addition, the learners seem to be victims of an oppressive, monolingual and monocultural education where they learn to listen and repeat the teachers‘ ―Truth‖, rather than discuss and think critically. However, the table seems to be turning.

  • Filamentous Cyanobacteria from Western Ghats of North Kerala, India
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 28(1): 83‒95, 2021 (June) https://doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v28i1.54210 © 2021 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists FILAMENTOUS CYANOBACTERIA FROM WESTERN GHATS OF NORTH KERALA, INDIA 1 V. GEETHU AND MAMIYIL SHAMINA Cyanobacterial Diversity Division, Department of Botany, University of Calicut, Kerala, India Keywords: Cyanobacteria, Filamentous, Peruvannamuzhi, Western Ghats. Abstract Cyanobacteria are Gram negative, photosynthetic and nitrogen fixing microorganisms which contribute much to our present-day life as medicines, foods, biofuels and biofertilizers. Western Ghats are the hotspots of biodiversity with rich combination of microbial flora including cyanobacteria. Though cosmopolitan in distribution, their abundance in tropical forests are not fully exploited. To fill up this knowledge gap, the present research was carried out on the cyanobacterial flora of Peruvannamuzhi forest and Janaki forests of Western Ghats in Kozhikode District, North Kerala State, India. Extensive specimen collections were conducted during South-West monsoon (June to September) and North-East monsoon (October to December) in the year 2019. The highest diversity of cyanobacteria was found on rock surfaces. A total of 18 cyanobacterial taxa were identified. Among them filamentous heterocystous forms showed maximum diversity with 10 species followed by non- heterocystous forms with 8 species. The highest number of cyanobacteria were identified from Peruvannamuzhi forest with 15 taxa followed by Janaki forest with 3 taxa. The non- heterocystous cyanobacterial genus Oscillatoria Voucher ex Gomont showed maximum abundance with 4 species. In this study we reported Planktothrix planktonica (Elenkin) Agagnostidis & Komárek 1988, Oscillatoria euboeica Anagnostidis 2001 and Nostoc interbryum Sant’Anna et al. 2007 as three new records from India.

  • Bolivia's Regional Elections 2010
    Ethnopolitics Papers June 2010 | No. 2 Bolivia’s Regional Elections 2010 Anaïd Flesken PhD Candidate in Ethnopolitics | Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies | University of Exeter, UK E-mail address for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Following closely the national elections of December 2009, Bolivia’s regional elections of April 2010 determined two outcomes: On the one hand, they decided the size and strength of the opposition towards current president Evo Morales and his political organization, Movement towards Socialism (MAS). On the other hand, they decided the distribution of power during the implementation of the country’s new constitution. This will establish, amongst other issues, the level of regional, municipal, as well as indigenous autonomy. Here, the plans of the indigenous- based MAS face opposition from the relatively affluent and mainly white and mixed-race region in the eastern lowlands of the country. The election results indicate that the MAS maintained widespread support among Bolivians. It secured the majority of departments and municipalities, yet had to record some losses at the local level. The right-wing opposition won in the departments of the eastern lowlands, which indicates a deepening regional cleavage. ISSN: 2048-075X Copyright © 2010 by Ethnopolitics Papers. All rights reserved.
