The present study deals with the blue-green algae (BGA) from the rice fields of Bongaigaon district, Assam. 23 species of blue-green algae belongs to 12 genera has been enumerated. Maximum species were found under the genus Nostoc (4), Anabaena (4), which is followed by Scytonema (3) Aphanocapsa (2), Aphanothece (2) and Phormedium (2). Single species was represented by the genera Microcystis, Chroococcus, Merismopedia, Oscillatoria, Aulosira and Calothrix.DOI: 10.3126/on.v8i1.4344

Blue Green Algae

The problem, with which this paper deals, arose out of the observation that in India rice can be grown on the same land for long periods without the addition of manure to the soil (Howard 1924, p. 114). Three distinct periods are distinguishable in Indian rice fields, viz.: (1) Waterlogged period (from transplantation up to harvest time), in which there are a few inches to several feet of water above the soil and which is distinguished by the growth of abundant algae. (2) The dry period, which follows in winter after harvest and during which conditions remain very suitable for microbiology activity. (3) The desiccation period, commencing after winter when the soil temperature frequently exceeds 50° C.

Cellular Components

Electron microscopic observations of freeze-fracture replicas of Anabaena cells obtained by the procedures described by Bullivant and Ames (J. Cell Biol., 1966) indicate that the frozen cells are fractured in many different planes. This fracturing or cleaving along various planes allows one to gain a three dimensional relation of the cellular components as a result of such a manipulation. When replicas that are obtained by the freeze-fracture method are observed in the electron microscope, cross fractures of the cell wall and membranes that comprise the photosynthetic lamellae are apparent as demonstrated in Figures 1 & 2.A large portion of the Anabaena cell is composed of undulating layers of cytoplasm that are bounded by unit membranes that comprise the photosynthetic membranes. The adjoining layers of cytoplasm are closely apposed to each other to form the photosynthetic lamellae. Occassionally the adjacent layers of cytoplasm are separated by an interspace that may vary in widths of up to several 100 mu to form intralamellar vesicles.
