Algae of the ©ater Supplies of the “Delta" Region 3* Special Physiological Studies Visits were made to water supplies in widespread sections of the State. Collections were made by the use of a plankton net with a screw cap vial attached to the bottom for easy removal* These algae were preserved in two ways; first, one saupls was placed in a small vial with formalln-acetic- alcohol preservative; second, a duplicate sample was placed upon each of three squares of mica* The specimens on mica were dried and put into envelopes* Temperature and pH wore recorded and filed with the collections. Certain water supplies of the "Delta" region were selected for critical study. These water 3 applies were visited at Intervals and samples of water and algae were collected. The temperature and pH of the water were taken and a chemical analysis of the water was secured through the waterworks engineer and the State Department of Health. The physiological studies were two-fold In purpose: (i) to aid In the determination of some of the species found In the water supplies; (2) to afford hotter understanding of the physiological reactions of algae. Laboratory methods consisted of the preparation and use of a number of media before satisfactory results were obtained. Several types of nutrient media were tried out with various algae under laboratory conditions with continuous light from fluorescent lamps. Kesults of particular interest were ob­ tained with solutions containing tryptophane and with solu­ tions containing egg yolk. The algae were examined and studied with a compound micro­ scope. Drawings were made with the aid of a camera lucida and identifications were carried out as completely as possible. Lists of the al ae collected, identified, and preserved have been included as a part of this thesis. The genera of al ae found In the water supplies of the wDeltaB region included seventeen Myxophyceae, or blue-green algae, eight Baclllarieae, or yellow-green algae, and twenty Chlorophyceae, or green algae. These genera appear In the list below. MTXOPHYCEAE BACILLARIEAE CHLOKOPHYCRAE Chroococcus Fragillaria* Gloeocystis* Microcystis* Synedra* Stiehococcus Gloeocapsa* Navicula* Hormidium Holopedium Anomaeoneis tjiofchrlx^ Oscillator!a# Gyrosigma Micro spara Spirulina Pleurosigma Chae tophora*> Phormidium Stauroneis Stig©ocIonium* Lyngbya Gomphonema D rapa rnaldi a* Eostoe RhiaocIonium Schizothrix Oedogonium Microcolous* Chlorococcum* Anabaena* Palmellococeus* Plectonema* Planktosphaeria Westalla Fremyella Scenedesmus* Rivularia* Eygnema* Amphithrix Splrogyra* C&lothrix Cosmarium Desmidlum* Oocys tis^ * Those marked with asterisk have been classed as harmful in other water supplies. Those underscored are possible new trouble makers in Mississippi water supplies. Physiological and culture studies were carried out with some of the algae with three principal objectives: (1) to indue© the formation of reproductive structures and thereby extend identification, (2) to establish the practicability of such laboratory studies as an adjunct to taxonomy, and (3) to determine certain physiological and chemical charac­ teristics. In a tryptophane medium, six out of seven species of Splrogyra formed zygospores. The zygospore characters are important and sometimes essential in the differentiation of the species of this genus. The vegetative development of species of &ougeofcia# Oedogonlum, V&ucheria, and Sygnema under laboratory condi­ tions was appreciably enhanced by the use of an egg yolk solution. Numerous blue-green algae, including the genera Calo- thrix, Microcoleus, Phonnidium, and Schizothrix were cultured readily under laboratory conditions. Such culturing greatly facilitated identification, both through the numerical In­ crease In available algae material and In the development of characteristic structures. The cultural medium was thus essentially an enrichment medium. The reactions of the blue-green alga, Scytonema Hof- manni Agardh*, under laboratory conditions involving varied media and cont'nuous light were followed in some detail, Including microchemical teats. Calcium was evidenced as not essential to the growth of this alga* In the presence of calcium, however, the alga became incrusted with a conspicu­ ous deposition of calcium carbonate. Magnesium, although evidenced as essential to the growth of the alga, did not influence deposition except at toxic concentrations. INTRODUCTION The beginnings of plant life on the earth are repre­ sented In our flora by a group of primitive water plants called the algae* For the most part the algae of fresh waters are microscopic in size and inconspicuous as in­ dividuals. They have had a great appeal to the micro- scopist because of their infinite variety and beauty; but they have been considered as relics of a past age and without any important relation to our agriculture or economic life. Gradually, however, there has developed an appreciation of the great contributions made the algae to life in the

Biodiversity and distribution of cyanobacteria at Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica.The current study describes the biodiversity and distribution of cyanobacteria from the natural habitats of Schirmacher land, East Antarctica surveyed during 23rd Indian Antarctic Expedition (2003–2004). Cyanobacteria were mapped using the Global Positioning System (GPS). A total of 109 species (91 species were non-heterocystous and 18 species were heterocystous) from 30 genera and 9 families were recorded; 67, 86 and 14 species of cyanobacteria were identified at altitudes of sea level >100 m, 101–150 m and 398–461 m, respectively. The relative frequency and relative density of cyanobacterial populations in the microbial mats showed that 11 species from 8 genera were abundant and 6 species (Phormidium angustissimum, P. tenue, P. uncinatum Schizothrix vaginata, Nostoc kihlmanii and Plectonema terebrans) could be considered as dominant species in the study area.

  • Some New Myxophyceae from Szechwan Province, China
    SOME NEW MYXOPHYCEAE FROM SZECHWAN PROVINCE, CHINA HAO-JAN CHU National University, Nanking, China During a ten-year period (1937-1946) of collecting algae in the mountainous Szechwan Province of China, the writer secured several new species of Myxophyceae. Six of these were collected from Mt. Omei in August, 1942, and have already been described (Chu, 1944). Additional collections from different localities in the province have brought to light other apparently undescribed Myxophyceae. In this paper one genus, five species and two varieties are considered as new to science; two species have been placed in a genus other than the one in which they were originally described. They all belong to the phylum Myxophyta, class Myxophy- ceae, order Chroococcales; the first six described in the paper are in the family Chroococcaceae and the remaining three in the Entophysalidaceae. 1. Chroococcus limneticus Lemm. var. multicellularis Chu var. nov.

As a consequence, the first proposed classification schemes assigned the filamentous and parenchymatous taxa to the green algal order Chaetophorales sensu Wille. The introduction of ultrastructural and molecular methods provided novel insight into algal evolution and generated taxonomic revisions based on phylogenetic inference. However, until now, the number of molecular phylogenetic studies focusing on the Chaetophorales s.s. is surprisingly low. To enhance knowledge about phylogenetic

  • Composition and Distribution of Subaerial Algal Assemblages in Galway City, Western Ireland
    Cryptogamie, Algol., 2003, 24 (3): 245-267 © 2003 Adac. Tous droits réservés Composition and distribution of subaerial algal assemblages in Galway City, western Ireland Fabio RINDI* and Michael D. GUIRY Department of Botany, Martin Ryan Institute, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland (Received 5 October 2002, accepted 26 March 2003) Abstract – The subaerial algal assemblages of Galway City, western Ireland, were studied by examination of field collections and culture observations; four main types of assem- blages were identified. The blue-green assemblage was the most common on stone and cement walls; it was particularly well-developed at sites characterised by poor water drainage. Gloeocapsa alpina and other species of Gloeocapsa with coloured envelopes were the most common forms; Tolypothrix byssoidea and Nostoc microscopicum were also found frequently. The Trentepohlia assemblage occurred also on walls; it was usually produced by large growths of Trentepohlia iolithus, mainly on concrete. Trentepohlia cf. umbrina and Printzina lagenifera were less common and occurred on different substrata. The prasio- lalean assemblage was the community usually found at humid sites at the basis of many walls and corners. Rosenvingiella polyrhiza, Prasiola calophylla and Phormidium autumnale were the most common entities; Klebsormidium flaccidum and Prasiola crispa were locally abundant at some sites. The Desmococcus assemblage was represented by green growths at the basis of many trees and electric-light poles and less frequently occurred at the bases of walls. Desmococcus olivaceus was the dominant form, sometimes with Chlorella ellipsoidea. Trebouxia cf. arboricola, Apatococcus lobatus and Trentepohlia abietina were the most common corticolous algae. Fifty-one subaerial algae were recorded; most did not exhibit any obvious substratum preference, the Trentepohliaceae being the only remarkable excep- tion.

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.
