A cyanobacterium Lyngbya bipunctata was isolated from the collected soil samples from different locations. Identification was carried out by using morphological variation and taxonomical approaches according to Desikachary (1959). The axenic culture of Lyngbya bipunctata obtained in the laboratory. For the biomass production, different culture media were used namely BG-11 medium (Rippka et al., 1979). The biomass was harvested by filtration through double layered muslin cloth and dried using air blower. Lyngbya bipunctata cultures were isolated by enriching soil samples in BG-11 medium (Kaushik 1987). Axenic cultures of Lyngbya bipunctata were obtained by repeated liquid transfer of small amounts of material followed by antibiotic treatment (streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and penicillin (10 mg ml-1) (Kaushik, 1987). Unialgal cultures were purified by successive transfer from liquid to.. View More»
