Hi, I’m Tasha, a biology student (Degree) from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malaysia. I’m currently doing some research on microalgae for my final year project. This project entitled “Isolation and Identification of Freshwater Microalgae in Mosquito Larvae Breeding Container in Bandar Pusat Jengka, Pahang”. I’m having some problem in identifying those microalgae that I have collected. Can someone suggest a book/reference that I can use to identify microalgae? Thank you in advance.
Hello Tasha,
Try to look for in the google. You can find so many good papers in regards to your concern.
Best!
Dear Tasha,
for a first orientation in the identification of your microalgae I suggest:
- Gary E Dillard. Common Freshwater Algae of the United States: An illustrated Key to the Genera (Excluding the Diatoms) Identification Key
- Bellinger, E. G. & Sigee, D. C. 2010. Freshwater Algae: Identification and Use as BioIndicators. Wiley-Blackwell, Chichester, UK, 271 pp. (cloth), US$130.00. ISBN 978-0-470-05814-5.ù
- Freshwater Algae of North America 2nd Edition Ecology and Classification : Editors: John Wehr, Robert Sheath J. Patrick Kociolek. eBookISBN: 9780123858771. Hardcover ISBN: 9780123858764
- Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19375-7 - The Freshwater Algal Flora of the British Isles: An Identification Guide to Freshwater and Terrestrial Algae: Second Edition Edited by David M. John, Brian A. Whitton, and Alan J. Brook.
Good luck.
