Abstract
This article provides relevant information about the algal flora of Jalgaon District, Maharashtra (India) and develops an outline of algal data bases of Jalgaon region, sites for algal studies, noticed and unnoticed algal
rich area of Jalgaon district. The present comprehension of fresh and marine algae of world is considerable and numbers of algae are indentified and subsequently cultured. In contrast some information is available in
literature but it is not compiled as a database. A total number of 539 taxa belonging to 4 classes are found in Jalgaon.The relative percentage of Cynophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Euglenophyceae is
40.44, 41.55, 10.38 and 7.60 respectively. The taxonomy and morphological study given by earlier researchers but still there is lot of scope to elaborate information about the algae of Jalgaon region regarding on
physiology and biochemical aspect, antimicrobial activity and methods of algal cultivation.
Keywords: Fresh water algae, Taxonomy, Phytonic and Jalgaon
Introduction Maharashtra algal studies were started in 1847 when Griffith describes fertilization in

Jalgaon District is located in the North-West region of the state of Maharashtra. It is and marine algae of Bombay. Later on some of the major contributions from Maharashtra
