Abstract
Freshwater protozoa are integral components of aquatic ecosystems, playing crucial roles in nutrient cycling, energy flow and microbial community dynamics. Protozoa also plays vital role in food chain. The environmental condition in which protozoa can live and multiply, there is always an optimum range for each group. In this study total 7 sites were selected for water samples collection from different regions of Lucknow. During this study, total 16 species of protozoa are observed like Amoeba, Paramecium, Vorticella etc. The identification is made on the basis of the body shape, size, type of locomotion, and structure of macro and micro nucleus. With the help of recent study, we highlighted the taxonomic diversity of freshwater protozoa, including ciliates, flagellates, amoebae and sporozoans in Gomti River, Lucknow.
