A Checklist of Diatom Species Reported from the Egyptian Mediterranean Lakes
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
A clear and concise checklist of the diatom species for the five Egyptian Mediterranean Lakes (Mariut, western section; Edku, Burullus, Manzala, Deltaic section and Bardawil, North Sinai) has yet been documented over 40 years of cited bibliography (also with their synonyms names). A total of 390 diatom species belong to 67 genera and 38 families have been recorded. The most recorded diatom genera were Nitzchia (Family: Bacillariaceae) and Navicula (Family: Naviculaceae). This diatom list has aided in identifying the original species, accepted names, synonyms and their habitat.
