摘要

The current study was carried out to investigate the amount of heavy metals (HM) present in crude oil-contaminated water bodies of Upper Assam (India), that enumerated the HM-tolerant cyanobacterial species present therein. Altogether, 42 species were cataloged under 25 genera, 17 families, and 9 orders during the routine exploration. Among them, five species were newly reported to the algal flora of India. Remarkably, the members of Oscillatoriaceae were recorded to be dominant with 10 species under 3 genera.
