Algal flora of Vikramsila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary (Bihar) is documented for the first time with a record of sixty five taxa including 13 taxa of Cyanophyceae of 11 genera, 24 taxa of Chlorophyceae of 15 genera, 21 taxa of Bacillariophyceae of 16 genera, 5 taxa of Euglenophyceae of 1 genus and one taxon each under Dinophyceae and Xanthophyceae. Six algal taxa, e.g. Aphanocapsa incerta (Lemmerm.) Cornberg & Komarek, Chroococcopsis epiphytica Geitler, Cosmarium ornatum Ralfs ex Ralfs, Euastrum verrucosum Ehrenb. ex Ralfs var. reductum Nordst., Navicula parietina Kutz. and Entomoneis alata (Ehrenb.) Ehrenb. are new distributional records from India.Keywords

Cyanobacteria/Cyanoprokaryotes are primary components of the microbial bio-films colonizing on different culturally important stone monuments. Their diversity and eco-physiology was always emphasized as they cause weathering of their substratum leading to disfigurement of the monuments. In the present communication, a novel Stigonematacean species, i.e., Stigonema tagorum is described from a stone monument (Gandhi Statue) in Santiniketan, West Bengal. The taxon has a distinguished type of true branching and cellular morphometry which differentiates it from its resembling taxa.Keywords

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
