Urmia Lake is one of the two large hypersaline lakes in the world which have Artemia. It is located in northwest of Iran. Due to a decrease in water inflow and volume, the salinity of Urmia Lake has reached to more than 300 g.l-1 since 2001. The increased salinity has greatly influenced biological aspects of the lake, and caused the lake undergoes at critical conduction. The aim of the prese...

In the present study, total thirty planktonic members from four sampling sites of selected research area in which, twelve phytoplanktons and eighteen zooplanktons each under different groups namely (Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae) (Protozoans, Rotiferans, Cladocerans, Copepods) were recorded respectively. Among all phytoplanktonic groups, Chlorophyceae was domina...

Nowadays, microalgae and cyanobacteria have become a promising sustainable source of useful products, thanks to their richness in bioactive metabolites high value (antibiotics, toxins, pharmaceutically active compounds, plant growth regulators, others). These photoautotroph microorganisms generate biomass using photosynthesis. This review, which distinguishes Cyanobacteria, often called blue-gr...
