“…In Pakistan, algal research is in the exploratory phase and therefore lacks any comprehensive and polyphasic studies. Several checklists have been published, in recent years [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. However, there was hardly any focus on the cyanobacterial diversity of the arid environment.…”

From the oasis of Cholistan, true branching heterocystous cyanobacterial strains were studied for, the cell arrangement in primary branches being mono-or biseriate; the shape of cells in main filament large and irregular; profused secondary branching emerging on one or both sides and tapering along their length. In these observed traits, two clear morphological taxa were recognized, both well-assorted from the previously described species of the genus Westiellopsis. Both strains showed culturing responses and were studied for antibacterial, cytotoxic, and anticancer potentials. The strain derived from the site B-10 provenance exhibited antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas (18 mm), Klebsiella (15 mm), Staphylococcus (22 mm). On the contrary, the strain of site A-44 showed no activity against any of the above-mentioned bacterial strains. The cytotoxicity assay for the strain of the B-10 site showed 36% larval mortality, whereas strain A-44 showed 24% larval mortality. Performance of the strain B-10 in MTT assay (assessed on HCT-116 cell lines) revealed a dose-dependent activity: at 200, 100, 50, and 25 µg/ml; achieving a growth inhibition of 50.15%, 40.22%, 33.72%, and 10.21%, respectively; and the strain of A-44 could only exhibit a 30.06% growth inhibition at 200 µg/ml. The 16S rRNA sequencing revealed the sequence homology with Neowestiellopsis. Based on data presented here we report two diverse taxa of true branching Nostocales from Cholistan oasis, Pakistan.

“…Mahar et al (2000) described the quality of water of Manchar lake, Sindh, and discussed the effects of different physico-chemical parameters on micro-organism present in water. Leghari et al (2000), investigated some lakes of district Badin to examine the water quality and biological life present in these lakes. Among physicochemical parameters, pH, conductivity and salinity were determined.…”

Present work is based on the physico-chemical parameters of Haleji lake. Physical factors and chemistry oflake water were analyzed with regular intervals. The color of water showed variation from light green to yellowishgreen, air temperature ranged between 20 °C to 35 °C, water temperature between 17 °C to 33 °C , pH 5.5 to 7.5,dissolved oxygen 2.04 mg/L to 6.44 mg/L, salinity 0.32 mg/L to 1.1 mg/L, alkalinity from 30 mg/L to 100 mg/L,acidity 10 to 96 mg/L, sulphate 4.5 mg/L to 305 mg/L, phosphate from 1 mg/L to 190 mg/L, and nitrates 9 mg/L to 270mg/L during 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively.

The influence of physicochemical factors on the development of Ulva species with distromatic tubular morphology was studied in three streams located in Poznan, Poland. The study evaluated key environmental factors that may influence the colonisation and growth of Ulva populations in freshwater systems. In total, nine environmental parameters were included: temperature, water depth, pH, oxygen (O 2 ), ammonium (NH 4 ? ), nitrate (NO 3 -), phosphate (PO 4 3-), sodium chloride (NaCl) and total iron (Fe). Morphometric features of thalli (length and width, percentage of furcated and young thalli) and surface area of free-floating mats formed by the freshwater populations of Ulva were compared at all sites. Principal components analysis indicated the most important factors influencing Ulva development were sodium chloride concentrations and water depth. Two other key chemical factors affecting the freshwater form of Ulva were phosphate and nitrite concentrations. High concentrations of sodium chloride inhibited the development of Ulva, leading to a lower number of thalli in the Ulva mats. At the sites with stable and deeper water, the surface area of the mats was larger. Both phosphate and nitrite concentrations were positively correlated with an increase in the number of thalli in the mats and the thalli length.
