STUDIES ON ALGAL DIVERSITY WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN GLEN STREAM NEAR SUMMER HILL REGION OF HIMACHAL PRADESH Authors: Kumar N , PRATIBHA*, BANYAL HS, SHARMA S, VAIDYA D AND SHARMA S
ABSTRACT
The present research paper deals with the composition and diversity of algae from Glen Stream
near Summer Hill region of Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. 4 genera under
Bacillariophyceae represented by Cymbella, Cocconema, Gomphonema and Navicula and 6
genera under Chlorophyceae represented by Cladophora, Cosmarium, Oedogonium,
Spirogyra, Ulothrix and Zygnema and 1 genus each under Cyanophyceae and Xanthophyceae
represented by Anabaena and Tribonema respectively were reported from this stream. This is
the first record of algae from Glen Stream. The impact of selected physico-chemical parameters
on algal composition has also been assessed.
