Study on Variation of Diatoms Flora in Gomati River at Jaunpur for Forensic Consideration
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Diatoms are regarded as valuable evidence to correlate the cause of death between drowning or dumping and also for site characterization. They are microscopic unicellular organism, general habitat in aquatic condition, having siliceous cell membrane and they photosynthesize chlorophyll pigments. In present study, 27 water samples were collected from different nine sites of Gomati River at Jaunpur District in the months of December, January and February. The collected water samples were extracted for identification of diatoms after acid digestion and thei sldes were made, according to the arrangement of valve and cell wall shape. On the basis of these examinations, 36 genera identified from different nine sites, in which some genera were common and some genera were specific site in other places the presence of diatom can confirm of river water sample, on the basis of which drowning sites of the dead bodies can be confirm si. It may be valuable for the site characterization by comparison of diatoms between the water sample of drowning site and the viscera of corpse recovered.
