Abstract
A total of 10 coccoid cyanobacterial species belonging to 5 genera were reported from the different study areas of mangrove ecosystems of the southwest coast of India from July 2015 to June 2020. All the collected cyanobacterial samples were identified up to species level. The study recorded 5 epipsammic (Aphanothece granulosa (N.L.Gardner) Komárek & Komákova-Legnerova 2007, Aphanothece stagnina (Sprengel) A. Braun in Rabenhort 1863, Gloeothece samoensis Wille 1913, Gloeothece rupestris (Lyngbye) Bornet in Wittrock & Nordstedt 1880, Chroococcus pallidus Nageli 1849), 2 benthic (Gloeothece ustulata Beck-Mannagetta 1929, Anathece bacteriosa (Komarek & Komarkova-Legnrova) Komarek, Kastovsky & Jezberova 2011),1 epiphytic (Chroococcus indicus Zeller 1873), 1 planktic (Aphanothece bullosa (Meneghini) Rabenhorst 1865), while Aphanocapsa grevillei (Berkeley) Rabenhorst 1865) was occurred from epiphytic and benthic habitat.
