This paper presents the results of a long-term research regarding the species diversity and composition of benthic algae in major bentic water bodies of the northeastern region of Turkey. The presented data cover identified 344 taxa with their occurrence. Bacillariophyta was the most numerous group with the highest number of species (215) followed by Chlorophyta (83), Cyanophyta (28), Euglenophyta (16), and Dianophyta (2). The taxonomic composition of the benthic algal flora was analyzed. The diatom taxa that grow well in slightly alkaline waters were found to be abundant in the benthic algal community.
