ABSTRACT
The Blue Green Algae are unicellular or filamentous. Those sometimes form structures identifiable with the naked eye but typically require a microscope for identification; they differ from other groups in this flora because they are prokaryotes. Blue-green algae are present in all types of water bodies. Different species of algae can be grown to be everything from a food source to a source of biodiesel and also used in the bioremediation of wastewater. One of the benefits of growing algae is that the process is easy and direct to measure. The most primitive life forms are the ancestors of Blue Green Algae (Chapman & Chapman, 1973). Blue-green algae (BGA) resemble algae and bacteria and have been classified in the kingdom Plantae and Monera (Prokaryotes). In the kingdom Plantae, BGA is included in the division Cyanophyta or class Cyanophyceae or Myxophyceae, while in the kingdom Prokaryotes, they are included in the division Cyanobacteria (Murray, 1968) or order Cyanobacteriales (Gibbons & Murray, 1978). Thus BGA classification into taxonomic categories at the levels of kingdom, division, class or order has not been agreed upon, having, in fact, described as being in a state of chaos (Whitton, 1967, 1969). Here discusses problems encountered in identifying and classifying BGA and explores to overcome taxonomical problems. In this paper, we discuss Blue Green Algae's ability to control pollution from January to March 2023 in Kot Dam of Shakambari conservation reserve, Jhunjhunu district(Rajasthan).
Keywords: Algae, Blue Green Algae, nutrients, bioremediation, pollution.
