Hydrobiological studies within the tea gardens at Srimangal, Bangladesh. II. Algal flora (excluding Chlorophyceae)

Abstract

A total of 108 algal taxa belonging to 57 genera and nine classes (excluding Chlorophyceae), namely, Cyanophyceae 28, Euglenophyceae 37, Chloromonadophyceae 1, Charophyceae 3, Xanthophyceae 11, Chrysophyceae 4, Bacillariophyceae 20, Dinophyceae 2 and Rhodophyceae 2 have been recorded from some acidic habitats within the tea gardens at Srimangal, Maulvi Bazar. Of these 13 are new records for Bangladesh. Key words: Acidic habitats; diversity; phytoplankton; periphyton; new records DOI: 10.3329/bjpt.v12i1.609Bangladesh J.

A taxonomic account on the phytoplankton of a pond receiving textile industrial effluents

“…In Bangladesh, a number of research works have been carried out on phytoplankton from a range of habitats and localities (Islam and Begum 1970, 1987, Islam and Irfanullah 2005a, b, c, 2006, Khondker et al 2007a. Phytoplankton from organically polluted ponds were worked out by Islam and Khatun (1966), Islam and Nahar (1967), and Khondker et al (1990), but there exists very little information on qualitative aspects of phytoplankton from the polluted habitats contaminated by industrial wastes.…”

A taxonomic account on the phytoplankton of a pond receiving textile industrial effluents. II. Euglenophyceae and Bacillariophyceae

“…Description of sample collections, their preservation and examination, details of physical and chemical conditions of water at four stations or sampling points have been published by Begum (2008). Literature consulted for the identification of all the phytoplankton are: Islam and Khatun (1966), Islam and Haroon (1975), Aziz (1977, 1979), Islam and Chowdhury (1979), Islam and Hossain (1979), Germain (1981), Islam and Moniruzzaman (1981), Aziz and Islam (1986), Islam and Mannan (1986), Khondker et al (1990), Islam et al (1991), Aziz and Ara (2000), Nahar (2001), Aziz and Tanbir (2003), Islam and Alfasane (2004), and Islam and Irfanullah (2005). In the present study classification proposed by Bold and Wynne (1985) is followed.…”

Hydrobiological studies within the tea gardens at Srimangal, Bangladesh. III. Chlorophyceae (excluding Desmids)

“…In the previous two installments of the current series of papers, Islam and Irfanullah have described the aquatic macrophytes (Islam and Irfanullah 2000a) and algal flora (excluding Chlorophyceae) (Islam and Irfanullah 2005) of some selected habitats within the tea gardens of Srimangal, Maulvi Bazar. The present paper deals with algae belonging to the Class Chlorophyceae (excluding desmids) of the same habitats.…”
