Abstract

With the emerging knowledge of biochemical composition, cyanobacteria are now considered as one of
the potent group of organisms to be used in different industries. Though rich in diversity, the
cyanobacterial flora of North-Eastern region is yet to be analyzed biochemically. The present study was an
attempt to generate a baseline data for pigments, protein and lipid contents of seven selected species
isolated from Deepor beel, a Ramsar site of Assam.
