A CHECKLIST OF CYANOPHYTA (CYANOBACTERIA) OF ISRAEL AND ADJACENT REGIONS

ABSTRACT Cyanophyta have been investigated in Israel by a number of scientists since early in this century. During the years 1938–1996 fifty-six works were published, describing cyanophyta flora from a variety of aquatic and terrestrial habitats, including Lake Kinneret, Lake Huleh, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Dead Sea, Jordan River, fish ponds, freshwater and polluted reservoirs, rocks and soils, and a number of thermal and freshwater springs. In addition to the 284 taxa described in the published works, the checklist also includes 61 taxa from unpublished materials.
