What is known about Cyanoprokaryota and the algal blooms along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast: an overview
Journal Title: Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
This article presents a summary of the research related to the taxonomic composition, algal blooms and toxic potential of representatives from Cyanoprokaryota (Cyanobacteria, Cyanophyta) in the coastal waters of the Bulgarian Black Sea area. Main strands of the algal research, including Cyanoprokaryota, are presented in a chronological order. The taxonomic composition of cyanoprokaryotic microorganisms, their importance as a part from the algal flora of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and the main problems caused by this group organisms are discussed. This information could be used as a basis for future investigations related to the taxonomy, diversity, distribution and evaluation of the biological activity of cyanoprokaryotic species in the Black Sea and particularly in the Bulgarian coast area.

Biochemical and molecular study of glycinebetaine synthesis in Salsola aucheri under salt stress
Salinity promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative damages of different cellular components. Thus, salt stress tolerance requires activation of antioxidative pathways to protect plant cells f...

Cancer of gallbladder is a hidden phenomenon and highly malignant with underprivileged diagnosis and poor survival. Study of cancer patterns amongst victims of Bhopal gas tragedy exposed to methyl isocyanate reveal...
Optimization of nutritive medium composition for production of amylase by Bacillus strains
The current study aimed to examine the amylolytic activities of various species of the Bacillus genus. A total of 31% of the tested 166 strains showed a positive reaction on starch agar. Their amylolytic activity was in...
Effect of natural bioflavonoid on in vitro ruminal microbiota activity in sheep rumen liquor
A pure bioflavonoid (rutin) was extracted from Eucalyptus globulus leaves and identified by Thin Layer Chromatography using purified flavonoids moieties as a control. The purified flavonoid was used in in vitro gas produ...
