Influence of physical and chemical factors on the distributional pattern of Cyanobacteria in Kumaon Region
Journal Title: Extreme Life, Biospeology & Astrobiology - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Cyanobacteria are a group of haploid oxygenic photosynthetic blue-green algal prokaryotes. They belong to the largest, most diverse and widely distributed group of Prokaryotes. These belong to the most archaic organisms on the earth. Cyanobacteria occur in a variety of habitats and its growth is influenced by several physical and chemical factors of the environment. This paper discusses the influence of several physical and chemical factors on the growth of Cyanobacterial diversity of Himalayas with special reference to Kumaon Himalayas.

The influence of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the reduction of abiotic stresses in crops
Plants are always subjected to biotic and abiotic stresses in the environment which have influences on the growth and development of the plants. Beneficial free-living soil bacteria are usually referred as Plant-Growth...
The red neon, Paracheirodon axelrodi (Schultz, 1956), is able to survive in distilled water.
In the current paper we report on the ecophysiological adaptation of the red neon to extremely low water hardness (nearly zero). Such adaptations of aquatic vertebrate species (either fish or frogs) to extreme environmen...
