EXPLORATION OF OSCILLATORIALEAN CYANOBACTERIA OF MANIPUR, INDIA, FALLING UNDER INDO- BURMA BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS

摘要

In present investigation, one hundred three (103) non - heterocystous filamentous cyanobacteria have been encountered from different ecological habitats of Manipur, India, falling under Indo Burma Biodiversity hotspots having acidic properties. Theseisolates belong to six genera namely, Phormidium (45), Limnothrix (06), Oscillatoria (07), Spirulina (01), Lyngbya (17), Plectonema (27) and deposited to fresh water cyanobacterial repository at IBSD, Imphal, Manipur, India a creation of Department of Biotechnology Govt, of (Ref no.: BT/PR11323/PBD/26/171/2008 dated 31st March, 2009) with accession numbers.
