was closely monitored to study the diversity of heterocystous cyanobacterium genus Nostoc and their observations were recorded during last three years (July 2020 to June 2023). Cyanobacteria containing soil were collected from the Grassland Biotope and their enrichment cultures were raised, and morphological observations were recorded. All species of Nostoc have been identified upto the species level with the help of available monographs. Total eleven species of Nostoc viz. N. cycadeae, N. paludosum, N. microscopicum, N. shensiense, N. calcicola, N. sphaericum, N. ellipsosporum, N. linckia, N. verrucosum, N. gelatinosum and N. pruniforme have been identified. On the basis of observations, it is concluded that Grassland biotope is one of the most suitable habitats which facilitate the growth of Nostoc species and the fertility of the soil of Grassland biotope is maintained year after year by their occurrence.

It's fascinating that we searched occurrence and types of cyanobacteria presented at my village Chowberia, Bongaon Block in North 24 Parganas in West Bengal. Population density is low; more or less 26000 people lived in Chowberia. Cyanobacteria indeed have diverse applications and play important roles in various ecosystems, including paddy fields, surfaces on rocks, damp soil, and decaying house walls. This diversity of habitats suggests that cyanobacteria are adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and diversity of cyanobacterial species in the Chowberia area. 32 samples were selected of total randomly collected samples from various environments such as paddy fields, drains, damp walls, rock surfaces, etc. The collected samples were then identified, and the relative abundance of different cyanobacterial genera was quantified. The results revealed the presence of various cyanobacterial organisms, with the following distribution:

“…Tropical India provides favourable environments for the luxuriant growth of cyanobacteria in her natural ecosystems (Thajuddin et al, 2002;Chellappa et al, 2004). So far, the cyanobacteria of India have been studied by various workers such as Chakraborty et al (2010), Naskar et al (2008), Keshri and Chatterjee (2010), Ansari et al (2012), Bhosale and Dhumal (2012), Chauhan (2006, 2008), Dhingra and Ahluwalia (2007a,b), Gupta (2012), Haldar and Sinha (2013), Dey (2012), Roy et al (2014a,b) and Datta and Keshri (2014).…”

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.
