    Marine benthic Cyanobacteria in Northern Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean Sea)
    Ulcay, S; Taskin, E; Kurt, O; Öztürk, M
    In this paper, 47 taxa (15 Chroococcales, 20 Oscillatoriales, and 12 Nostocales) of Cyanobacteria that were collected along the coasts of Northern Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean Sea) are reported. Aphanocapsa litoralis (Hansgirg) Komarek & Anagnostidis, Coelosphaerium minutissimum Lemmermann, Chroococcus cf. turicensis (Nageli) Hansgirg, Chroococcus varius A. Braun, Spirulina tenerrima Kutzing ex Gomont, Calothrix fuscoviolacea P.L.Crouan & H.M.Crouan ex Bornet & Flahault, Rivularia nitida C. Agardh ex Bornet & Flahault, and Scytonematopsis pilosa (Harvey ex Bornet & Flahault) I. Umezaki & M. Watanabe are recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea, and 35 taxa are also recorded for the first time from Northern Cyprus. Data are also provided concerning the geographical, morphological, and ecological distribution of each species. Sampling was based on 4 different localities (Korucam, Girne, Dip Karpaz, and Gazimagusa) in the Northern Cyprus marine ecosystem supralittoral zone at a depth of 30-35 m in the infralittoral zone between 2006 and 2008.

    Taxonomy and Description of the Three Marine Cyanophycean Algae from the Mediterranean Sea
    Kurt, O; Ulcay, S; Taskin, E; Öztürk, M
    In the present study, three marine Cyanophycean species from the Mediterranean are reported and described. These species were: Phormidium boryanum (Bory ex Gomont) Anagnostidis and Komarck (1988), Oscillatoria sancta f. caldariorum (Hauck) Lagerheim and Elenkin (1949) and Lyngbya anomala (C.B.Rao) Umezaki and Watanabe (1994), all members of the Oscillatoriales. The samples were collected from mid-littoral zones of Dikili Gulf (Aegean Sea, Turkey). The samples were kept in jars, fixed in 4% formaldehyde-sea water. The algae were identified under the microscope, mounted directly between lam and lamel. Current literature sources were used for the determinations. The photographs were taken using normal microphotography techniques. Data concerning distribution, morphology and ecology of each species are also given.
