Analysis of Viability Index and Growth of Regenerated Cyanobacteria Following Long-Term Preservation in Calcium Alginate Beads
Abstract: Samples were collected from Nagaon and Dhemaji districts of Assam differing significantly in pH and temperature for cyanobacterial isolation. Isolates were partially characterized, and pure cultures of the isolates were immobilized for preservation. Thirty two cyanobacterial strains were isolated from 13 different soil and water samples. Nostoc was the most abundant genus in the collection (42%). This was followed by Anabaena (22%), Fischerella (19%), Synechococcus (6%), and Calothrix (5%). For …
