%X The present work was carried out to monitor the impact of paper effluent on themicrobial diversity viz., bacteria, fungi and cyanobacteria. Results of one yearecological study revealed that altogether 10 species of bacteria, 5 species of fungi and 42species of cyanobacteria were isolated from the effluent stream. Among the bacteria,Pseudomonas with two species and others with single species each were recorded.Aspergillus was dominant among fungi with 2 species followed by Penicillium withthree. Cyanobacteria, one of the dominant group of algae, inhabiting all kinds of water(effluents), recorded 42 species. Oscillatoria with 14 species was the dominant genusfollowed by Lyngbya (8), Phormedium (4), Chroococcus and Microcystis with twospecies each. Higher amounts of phosphates and nitrates, with sufficient amount ofoxidizable organic matter, limited dissolved oxygen content and slightly alkaline pHwere probably the factors favoring the growth of microbes especially cyanobacteria. Theutilization of dominant species of cyanobacteria to monitor pollution in Paper milleffluent has also been discussed.
