ABSTRACT
Freshwater algae have shown an amazing tolerance to a wide range of environmental circumstances. Native communities, which may comprise a diverse variety of species and genera, are frequently where they flourish in their natural habitat. The identification of freshwater algae from Sangareddy, the majority of which belong to the Chlorophyceae family, is fully based on the Physico-chemical characteristics of the water bodies at different time intervals across time. It focuses on the dynamics of freshwater algae from the Manjeera Reservoir, which is around 7 kilometers away from the sangareddy district region under investigation in this communication. During the identification procedure, 59 new species were discovered, with 20 of them previously unknown. Around 59 species were documented during the research of this alga gathering Scientific botanical tour for UG Biotechnology third-year students with Dr. S. Vijaya Head & Asst. Prof of Botany Tara Autonomous College Sangareddy. Students participated in this algal collection expedition by collecting an algal mixture and soaking it in an Aceto-alcohol solution (1:3). A solution containing small bottles containing 59 different types of algal samples that were brought to college and stored the next day identified each algal sample under the Research Microscope and noted down the characters to identify the algal flora book finally confirmed the correct name to preserve such algal samples in the botany laboratory. Most of the reservoir water is used for drinking and agriculture.
