Pure cultivation and morphological studies of four chaetoceros taxa from the Coastal Waters of Pahang, Malaysia

This study was conducted to study the morphological features of species under the genus Chaetoceros isolated from the coastal waters of Pahang, Malaysia. The species were isolated, cultivated and viewed under light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Four taxa were successfully i...
