Satish D. Magar, Milind J. Jadhav

Abstract :

Domestic sewage water contains organic and inorganic nutrients. Present study deals with the diatoms of domestic sewage water. Diatoms are Bacillariophycean algae. While studying algal flora of domestic sewage water authors came across some interesting taxa of diatoms. Algal samples were collected for the period of one year i.e. from July 2015 to June 2016. Collected diatom taxa were identified on the basis of   important taxonomic characters. A total of 13 taxa under 6 genera were identified and recorded. All taxa recorded are pennate diatoms. Fragillariaevistrata, FragillariaconstruensandNitzschiapaleawere found dominant. Seasonal variation study of diatom flora reveals that abundance of diatoms were found in summer and winter seasons.
