| Abstract: |
The planktonic diatom genus Skeletonema is common in Indian coastal waters. Recent taxonomic studies have
uncovered high diversity in this genus, and it is expected that several species
occur also in the highly diverse marine habitats along the Indian coastline. In
the present study, material of a culture raised from a specimen isolated from a
water sample taken from Goa and material from two Lugol fixed samples, one from
the Bay of Bengal and one from the Arabian Sea,
were examined. Samples were examined in LM and SEM. The culture strain from Goa was also characterized using its LSU rDNA sequence.
Results revealed that the above strain belongs to S. costatum sensu stricto. The sample from the Bay of Bengal contained S. grevillei and the sample from the Arabian Sea,
S.
tropicum.
