Abstract
The algal flora of six thermal springs of Bahariya Oasis were studied during July 1990 and January 1991. The total algal biomass was 110. The blue-greens were represented by the greatest number of species followed by diatoms and green algae. Oscillatoria geminata f. sulfurea was the highly distributed taxon in all thermal springs. All springs can be classified as euthermal and Oscillatoria - type. Furthermore most of diatoms recorded were found to be oligohalobien - indifferent to sodium chloride.
