Azolla nilotica does not occur in Egypt today, reaching as far north as central Sudan. Its spores have been recorded in sediment cores from the Nile Delta near Manzala Lake up to ca. 550 AD. As part of the CASSARINA Project on recent changes in ecosystems of North African lakes, short sediment cores, covering up to the last two centuries, were taken from the open water of the large Delta lagoon...

Azolla is an aquatic pteridophyte widely distributed in the water bodies. It has been traditionally used as a biofertilizer for rice paddy fields owing to its potential to fix atmospheric nitrogen [1]. In addition to this it has several other uses and Wagner [2] referred it as “green gold mine”. The plant system has the inherent capacity to synthesize several biologically active constituents wh...

In this work, Azolla filiculoides was used for the bioremediation of a textile effluent and as potential sorbent rejection Congo red (CR9) dye from synthetic aqueous solution. The characterized, pot culture test carried out to assess physiological responses in controlled environment. response plants exposure emanating pollutants subordinate. BOD, COD, TDS removals were found be 98.2%, 98.23%, 9...
