Abstract: TOLENTINO, LEO ANDREW S. Occurrence and Distribution of Microscopic Algae in Selected Rivers of Indang Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Biology. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2015. Adviser: Prof. Michele T. Bono This study aimed to identify the algae present in the selected rivers of Indang, Cavite which involved the collection and identification of algae. The study also aimed to determine the physicochemical properties of river water and its effect on the occurrence of algae. Thirteen algae were identified under microscopic examination belonging to the different groups. These were Chlorohyta with eight genera, namely, Pediastrum, Pluerotaenium, Characium, Gloeomonas, Chlorella, Closteriopsis, Pandorina, Chaetophora, Charophyta with four genera, namely, Spirogyra, Hyalotheca, Closterium, and Zygnema, and Glaucophyta with only one genus named Gloeochaete. Among the algae, Pediastrum and Gloeomonas were the most distributed, being found in most of the rivers. Diversity indices revealed that Gloeomonas showed the highest richness among the algae, however, low evenness or similarity, as well as, low to very low diversity were noted among all identified algae. Pearson Correlation and One-way ANOVA of physicochemical data showed correlation of the algae to the effects of river parameters to the presence of algae in the rivers of Indang Cavite. Statistical analysis revealed that only TDS and salinity showed significant correlation to the presence of Characium while width and depth showed significant correlation to the presence of Closteriopsis, Pandorina, Chaetophora, Closterium and Zygnema. Only Gloeochaete showed significant correlation to temperature.

This study aimed to identify the algae present in the selected rivers of Indang, Cavite which involved the collection and identification of algae. The study also aimed to determine the physicochemical properties of river water and its effect on the occurrence of algae.

Thirteen algae were identified under microscopic examination belonging to the different groups. These were Chlorohyta with eight genera, namely, Pediastrum, Pluerotaenium, Characium, Gloeomonas, Chlorella, Closteriopsis, Pandorina, Chaetophora, Charophyta with four genera, namely, Spirogyra, Hyalotheca, Closterium, and Zygnema, and Glaucophyta with only one genus named Gloeochaete.

Among the algae, Pediastrum and Gloeomonas were the most distributed, being found in most of the rivers. Diversity indices revealed that Gloeomonas showed the highest richness among the algae, however, low evenness or similarity, as well as, low to very low diversity were noted among all identified algae.

Pearson Correlation and One-way ANOVA of physicochemical data showed correlation of the algae to the effects of river parameters to the presence of algae in the rivers of Indang Cavite. Statistical analysis revealed that only TDS and salinity showed significant correlation to the presence of Characium while width and depth showed significant correlation to the presence of Closteriopsis, Pandorina, Chaetophora, Closterium and Zygnema. Only Gloeochaete showed significant correlation to temperature.
