Abstract

Algae, other than aquatic habitats, do occur on soil surfaces in moisture-rich conditions. Cyanophycean members grow commonly on soil surfaces during rainy season. They produce brown black, deep green and olive green mucilage on top of soils. A study was done on such mucilage forming algae in which 14 taxa of non-heterocystous Cyanophyceae belonging to genera Microcystis and Chroococcus were very commonly observed from different habitats of north Maharashtra.
