Rice fields are ecosystems with many types of plants, microbes, invertebrates, birds and animals. The rice farming protects the biodiversity region maintains ecosystem for benefit environment. Some varieties release biocidal allelochemicals which might affect major weeds, microbial pathogenic diversity around even soil characteristics. A large number compounds such as phenolic acids, fatty indoles terpenes have been identified in root exudates decomposing residues, putative can interact...
The present work was aimed at analysing the role of inoculated microalgae in nutrient dynamics, bioremediation and biomass production sewage water. Preliminary microscopic analyses water revealed presence different algal groups, with predominance Cyanophyta. Among strains, Calothrix showed highest dry cell weight (916.67 mg L−1), chlorophyll carotenoid content tap + (1:1) treatment. Significant removal NO3-N ranging from 57–78% PO4-P (44–91%) recorded total dissolved solids electrical...
An investigation was undertaken to assess the variation in microalgal diversity vis a physicochemical characteristics of sewage wastewater at monthly time intervals. Diversity analyses revealed presence algal members belonging all major divisions, with predominance Cyanophyta. Shannon-Wiener and Simpson's indices illustrated low wastewater. Highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) 14,000 mg L− 1 recorded December 2012. Spectrometric heavy metals, Cr ranging from 3 4 being detected samples...
Rewalsar Lake, a mid-altitude, shallow and recreational water body located in the north-western Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh (India) was studied through monthly surveys two consecutive years (March 2008 to February 2010). Forty-seven species belonging seven groups of phytoplankton were identified from lake. Microcystis aeruginosa Synedra ulna exhibited perennial habit. Ankistrodesmus falcatus, Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus bijugatus, Chlamydomonas reinhardi, Eudorina elegans, Navicula...
