Abstract
Aeroterrestrial habitats are ecological significant as they act as a potential substrate for microbial growth causing biofilms. Such habitats around Balasore, Odisha are studied for the first time. A total of 16 cyanobacterial species are documented from various sub-aerophytic habitats around Balasore, which include 6 non-heterocystous and 10 heterocystous forms.
Keywords
Aeroterrestrial, Balasore, Cyanobacteria, Diversity, Odisha Coast.
