Abstract
Marine water environments are supporting the growth of marine organisms with affluent diversity. In this study, distribution of cyanobacteria from the coastline of Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu, India was studied. Water samples were collected from five different sampling sites during the month of January 2016 to March 2016. Totally 13 morphologically different cyanobacteria were identified by microscopic examinations. The identified species of cyanobacteria are Microcystis flos-aquae, Gloeocapsa sp, Aphanocapsa sp, Synechocystis sp. Oscillatoria earlei, Oscillatoria subsalsa, Oscillatoria tenuis, Oscillatoria amoena, Phormidium fragile, Phormidium retzii, Phormidium tenue, Lyngbya confervoides, and Spirulina subtilissima which are being the non heterocystous forms which are being useful for producing many bio-products industrially.
