Diversity of Epilithic Nostoc spp. from Western Ghats Regions of Kerala, India
Western ghats (Biodiversity hotspot) of Kerala is abundant in cyanobacterial species diversity. The cyanobacterial genus Nostoc inhabits on natural rock surfaces, thus play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems by colonizing in new and unsettled ecological niches. The abiotic factors like temperature, pH, humidity, micro and macro nutrients contribute to the abundance of Nostoc spp. on the rock surface. Nostoc spp. act as a potential candidates for eco-friendly and sustainable agriculture. Even though, their substantial importance to the environment most of the Nostoc spp. are unexplored, especially from Western ghats region of Kerala. Hence, the present study investigated the diversity of epilithic Nostoc spp. from Western ghats regions of Kerala. A total of 25 epilithic Nostoc spp. were identified in this study. Among the 25 species, Nostoc tibeticum and N. indistinguindem are new records from India.
期刊介绍：
The algae are heterogeneous assemblage of phytosynthetic organisms, one of the most vast and diverse groups of ancient photoautotrophic pro- and eukaryotic organisms (about 30 000 known species). They are micro- and macroscopic, unicellular, colonial, or multicellular, mobile and immobile, attached and free-living. Algae are widespread in water and soil habitats, at different geographic latitudes, and on all continents. They occur in waters with different degrees of salinity, trophicity, organic matter, and hydrogen ions, and at various temperatures. They include planktonic, periphytonic and benthic organisms. Algae are unique model organisms in evolutionary biology and also are used in various genetic, physiological, biochemical, cytological, and other investigations.
