These species were: Phormidium boryanum (Bory ex Gomont) Anagnostidis and Komárek (1988), Oscillatoria sancta f. caldariorum (Hauck) Lagerheim and Elenkin (1949) and Lyngbya anomala (C.B.Rao) Umezaki and Watanabe (1994), all members of the Oscillatoriales. The samples were collected from mid-littoral zones of Dikili Gulf (Aegean Sea, Turkey). The samples were kept in jars, fixed in 4% formaldehyde-sea water. The algae were identified under the microscope, mounted directly between lam and lamel. Current literature sources were used for the determinations. The photographs were taken using normal microphotography techniques. Data concerning distribution, morphology and ecology of each species are also given.
