Isolation and Characterization of Cyanobacteria from Paddy Field Soil
Journal Title: Haya: The Saudi Journal of Life Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract:Six cyanobacterial strains were isolated from pesticide exposed paddy field soil by enrichment method. The isolate exhibited unicellular and filamentous character and are designated and identified as JMCTTKC1-Phormidium pachydermaticum, JMCTTKC3-Oscillatoria chalybea, JMCTTKC4-Oscillatoria tenuis, JMCTTKC5-Oscillatoria ornata, JMCTTKC6-Chroococcus dispersus and JMCTTKC7-Phormidium tenue. The effect of 0.05% of lambdacyhalothrin was analysed on chlorophylla and protein content of the cyanobacterial isolates in mineral medium at different time intervals. The maximum level of chlorophylla content JMCTTKC4-Oscillatoria tenuis39.3500µg/mLand protein content JMCTTKC6-Chroococcus dispersus 99.9µg/mL was recorded on the 9th day sample. At the same time decreased level of chlorophylla content JMCTTKC1-Phormidium pachydermaticum-3.8597µg/mLand protein content JMCTTKC3-Oscillatoria chalybea24.73µg/mL was observed on 13th day sample. From this above observation it was clearly noted that the selected isolates are capable of degrading Lamdacyhalothrin pesticide and used its metabolites as a sole carbon and nitrogen source for their growth. Keywords:Paddy, Lamdacyalothrin, Chlorophylla and Protein.
