CYANOBACTERIAL DIVERSITY IN CHANDO, AN OXBOW LAKE OF RIVER MANORMA, BASTI (U.P.) INDIA.
Blue green algae are prokaryotic in nature and belong to the class cyanophyceae or myxophyceae. Since these are prokaryotic in nature like bacteria hence, these are called as Cyanobacteria, though they are regarded as potential nuisance In aquatic bodies and also risk for human health. However, they play a major role in atmospheric nitrogen fixation. Present study has been undertaken to record the cyanobacterial population diversity from Chando, an oxbow lake of river Manorma, Basti (U.P.). Preliminary survey reveals the presence of members of order nostocales and chlorocoocales of class myxophyceae. The survey reveals the presence of 07 species in Chando lake. The description structure and prevalence status has been discussed in this paper.
