This work aims to determine taxonomic composition of the microflora (cyanophytes and microalgae) of Somone Lagoon. Observation of the samples collected between March and June 2013 has allowed to list 50 species belonging to 3 phyla, 5 classes, 19 orders, 25 families and 34 genera. Bacillariophyta have the greatest species richness with 90% of the species, followed by Cyanophyta (8%) and Euglenophyta (2%). Bacillariaceae are the most represented family with 8 species. For the genera, these are Diploneis and Nitzschia, each with 4 species. These 50 species are new for the microflora of the Somone lagoon.
