Biodiversity of soil algae in the farmlands of mid-Taiwan

Abstract: BackgroundVery little information is available about soil algae in Taiwan. In this study, we investigated for the first time the soil algae inhabiting five types of farmland in mid-Taiwan: rice paddies, vegetable farms, tea plantations, sugar cane farms, and orchards.ResultsSixty-four taxa belonging to 33 genera of cyanobacteria, diatoms, green algae, and euglenoids were identified on the basis of fine structures observed under optical and electron microscopes and rDNA sequencing. The majority of the isolates … Show more

“…Ecological conditions have prominent role in determining the algal diversity (Lin, Chou & Wu, 2013). Redekar and Wagh (2000), Pareek et al (2011), Muralidhar andMurthy (2014), and Jayabhaye (2010) noticed that diatom diversity reaches maximum during monsoon or pre-monsoon months and minimum during summer.…”

“…De tal forma que pueden predominar las microalgas clorofitas, diatomeas o cianobacterias. Es así como, Lin et al (2013), han descrito características morfológicas y mediante secuenciación del rDNA una amplia diversidad de microalgas y cianobacterias, pertenecientes a los géneros Chlorella, Navicula, Nitzschia, Pinnularia, Microcoleus, Anabaena, Lyngbya, Oscillatoria, Phormidium, Nostoc y Chlamydomonas, entre las 74 taxa reportadas en suelos.…”
