| microbial community of cyanobacteria mats in the intertidal zone of oil-polluted coast of saudi arabia. | cyanobacterial mats are found at various locations along the coast of the eastern province of saudi arabia. those mats were affected by severe oil pollution following 1991 oil spill. in this study, samples from abu ali island were collected at three selected sampling sites across the intertidal zone (lower, middle, and upper) in order to understand the effect of extreme environmental conditions of high salinity, temperature and desiccation on distribution of cyanobacteria along the oil polluted ... | 2007 | 17045306 |
| preliminary survey of edaphic algae in al-hasa region, saudi arabia. | five soil samples were taken from different cultivated sites from the north villages of al-hasa. three algal groups were recorded throughout this study, bacillariophyta, cyanophyta and chlorophyta. fifty-two genera of algae were identified in all the soils sampled during this investigation. out of these, 11 genera belonged to the chlorophyta; 16 genera belong to bacillariophyta and 25 genera to cyanophyta. penniate bacillariophyta (nitzschia, gyrosigma), oscillatorid cyanophyta (osillatoria, pho ... | 2007 | 19090128 |
