1. Algae and seaweed
- seaweed.ucg.ie
- What are algae?.
- Pond scums, terrestrial algae, snow algae, seaweeds, freshwater and marine phytoplankton etc. ...
- Algae are very simple chlorophyll-containing organisms: some say that they are plants; other say that the are not, calling them Protists. We use the term "algae" very loosely because defining them is very difficult. ...
- Most algae form some sort of spore, which is a cell that is often motile and serves to reproduce the organism. Algae also have sex, often a very simple kind of sex where the algae themselves act as gametes, but sometimes very complicated with egg and sperm-like cells. ...
- , the red and blue-green algae are non-flagellated. ...
- Algae of one kind or another have been around for more than 2 billion years. We are still discovering new algae, sometimes whole groups of them at a time.
- Algae of other groups usually have two flagella (singular: flagellum). ...
- Where are algae found? Algae are found just about everywhere on earth: in the sea, in our rivers and lakes, on soils and walls, in animals and plants (as symbionts - partners collaborating together); in fact just about everywhere where there is light with which to photosynthesise.
- Seaweeds are algae that liven in the sea or in brackish water. Scientists generally call them "benthic marine algae", which just means "attached algae that live in the sea". ... Red and brown algae are almost exclusively marine, whilst green algae are also common in freshwater and in terrestrial situations.
- Don't forget: Algae is the plural; Alga is the singular. ...
2. Algae , an introduction - Botany, NMNH, Smithsonian Institution
- www.nmnh.si.edu
- Algae are photosynthetic organisms that occur in most habitats, ranging from marine and freshwater to desert sands and from hot boiling springs to snow and ice. ... Algae are found in the fossil record dating back to approximately 3 billion years in the Precambrian. ...
- Algae are important as primary producers of organic matter at the base of the food chain. ... Algae may contribute to mass mortality of other organisms, in cases of algal blooms, but they also contribute to economic well- being in the form of food, medicine and other products. In tropical regions, coralline algae can be as important as corals in the formation of reefs.
- Seaweeds are larger algae that live in the marine (salt or brackish water) environment. ...

Pillsbury were interested in the benthic marine algae and obtained some field support from commercial sources interested in agarophytes. ... Scagel collected marine algae at a number of sites in British Columbia and northern Washington; these collections were eventually deposited in the Phycological Collection. ...
- During the course of his academic career (1952-1986) and assisted by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows carrying out research on benthic marine algae, Scagel oversaw the expansion of the Phycological Herbarium to its present size of over 67,000 specimens. ...

6. What is Algae
- www.poolsetc.com
- What are Algae?.
- Algae are a diverse group of primarily aquatic, mostly plantlike organisms that occur in such dissimilar forms as microscopic single cells, loose, filmy conglomerations, matted or branched colonies, or giant seaweed with root - like structures resembling stems and leaves. Most of the algae have characteristics in common with plants, in that they have cell walls, contain the green pigment CHLOROPHYLL, and manufacture their own food through the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. The chlorophyll may be masked by other pigments, giving the various types of algae predominantly different colors. ...
- Algae are worldwide in distribution, thriving in all bodies of water, rocky coastlines, and terrestrial environments with ample moisture. ... The habitats of marine and coastal algae vary according to degree of wave action, height of tides, and the light intensity required for photosynthesis; the various algal types are found in distinct zones or layers in the oceans and on beaches and cliffs.
- Algae are differentiated mainly by cell structure, composition of pigment, nature of the food reserve, and the presence, quantity, and structure of flagella. ...
- blue - green algae (Cyanophyta); .
- yellow - green and golden - brown algae (Chrysophyta); .
- red algae (Rhodophyta); .
- green algae (Chlorophyta); .
- brown algae (Phaeophyta). ...
- Members of the BLUE - GREEN ALGAE, Cyanophyta, offer classification difficulties and are placed by some biologists among the bacteria. ... Unlike true algae they are procaryotes, or one - celled organisms, unlike bacteria, however, no Cyanophyta exhibit sexual reproduction; nor do any have flagella, although a few forms are mobile by unknown means. Cyanophyta also have chlorophyll a, which no photosynthetic bacterium possesses, and they produce gaseous oxygen as a waste product just as do all other algae but no bacterium.
- Rhodophyta, the red algae, are multicellular branching filamentous seaweed, abundant in warm coastal waters. Their color is primarily derived from the pigment phycoerythrin, which enables them to utilize light for photosynthesis at much deeper ocean levels than any other marine algae. ...

- www.thekrib.com
- Algae Eating Cyprinids from Thailand and Neighboring Areas.
- This article talks about five fishes from Thailand and neighboring areas, including the elusive Siamese Algae Eater (Crossocheilus siamensis) which is the only known fish to effectively eat red (beard/brush) algae. The other four fishes are (1) a very similar fish which we call the "false siamensis," (2) a more colorful relative - the Flying Fox (Epalzeorhynchus kalopterus), (3) another Crossocheilus species and (4) the Chinese algae eater. ...

- www.life.umd.edu
- Charophycean Green Algae.
- From ancient times until early this century, the plant kingdom was thought to include plants, most algae, fungi, and prokaryotes. ... All other photosynthetic eukaryotes are referred to as algae. Because the ancestors of embryophytes would have been classified as algae, and because some living green algae (the class Charophyceae, or "charophytes") are members of a monophyletic group with embryophytes, it is most accurate to think of embryophytes as a form of terrestrial algae (following Brent Mishler, we like to call them the "drier algae" rather than "higher plants"). The monophyletic group composed of the charophycean green algae and embryophytes is sometimes referred to as the Streptophyta. ...
- The Charales are large, structurally complex algae found primarily in freshwater, but also in brackish, and semi-terrestrial environments. ...
- The Coleochaetales are microscopic but structurally complex algae found exculsively in freshwater. ...
