New Records of Cyanoprokaryotes and Algae from Brattnevet Peninsula of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica
Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2024, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Brattnevet Peninsula of Larsemann Hills is situated in between the Grovnes and Stinear Peninsula and below the Fisher Island. It comprises water bodies, metamorphosed acidic rocks, and sedimentary rocks. Human activities in this area is promoted by the coastal location, ice free landscape, the further scientific research and the potential for tourist visits may affect the cyanoprokaryotes and algal diversity. The Antarctic environment is highly sensitive and susceptible to the impact of human activities and has much less natural ability to recover from disturbance than the environment of other continents. These changes ultimately affect the growth and diversity of cyanoprokaryotes and algae. Samples were sampled from diverse habitat of Brattnevet Peninsula. Altogether 06 species including Cyanoprokaryotes (03), Bacillariophyceae (02) and Zygnematophyceae (01) were recorded from diverse habitat of Brattnevet Peninsula of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica. This is the first Indian study report of cyanoprokaryotes and algae of Brattnevet Peninsula of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica. All the species reported for the first time as new record from this area.
