    Diatom Assemblages in Soil: Implications in Palaeo-Ecological Interpretations

    By Neera Sen Sarkar, Manjushree Mandal, Biswajit Biswas

    Abstract: AbstractDiatoms are microscopic, unicellular, eukaryotic algae belonging to the Class Bacillariophyceae which are abundant in most aquatic habitats and serve as useful proxies for multi-dimensional analysis of ecosystems. They inhabit waters and soils of both saline and freshwater areas. Diatoms as primary producers are vital for life on Earth, serve as significant source of oxygen, have major impact on global carbon cycle and are food source for many organisms at …

    Study of Diatom Flora in Geothermal Springs of Bakreswar, West Bengal, India

    By Neera Sen Sarkar, Manjushree Mandal

    Abstract: AbstractGeothermal springs are mostly formed due to tectonic movements of the earth or volcanic eruptions leading to the release of hot water in the form of artesian wells. The environment is very suitable for the growth of thermophilic Cyanobacteria. Nevertheless, some members ofBacillariophyceae (diatoms) are also found in such geothermal springs, although, very high water temperature and alkaline water is generally not very conducive for diatom growth. The present study …
