This was my powerpoint presentation when asked to present the habitat and occurrence of algae. I put pictures of the different algae per habitat including the species and genus,

Algae are found in
water of river, ponds,
ditches, pools, sea and
on moist places like tree
trunks, flower pots,
telegraph posts or in
association with other
plants and animals.
They have been
recorded from snow, hot
springs, tide pools and
other unusual habitat.

2. Edaphophytes Aerophytes Cryophytes
Endophytes Symbiotic Endozoophytes Parasites
Hydrophytes

3. They are either submerged
or free floating on the surface
of water.

4. Benthophytes Epactiphytes Thermophytes Planktophytes
Halophytes Epiphytes Epizoophytes

5. They grow on mud or on
bottom of a body of water.
Chara Nitella

6. Algal forms growing along
shores of lakes and ponds.
Chaetophora Oedogonium Rivularia

7. Found on hot springs of many
countries.
Chroococcaceae

8. Euplanktophytes
Algal forms float on surface
of water.
Tychoplanktophytes

9. Algae that floats in open
water.
Diatoms Chlorococcales

10. Algal forms unattached and
floating on water due to wind or
outside agency.
Spirogyra Zygnema Nostoc

11. Algae of waters of high salt
concentration.
Dunaliella salina Prasiola Ulva

12. Algae growing on other plants
and bigger algal members.
Bulbochaete Oedogonium Coleochaete

13. Algae growing mollusc shells,
fishes, turtles.
Protoderma Characium

14. Terrestrial algae. They may
occur on or under soil.
(subterranean algae)
Saphophytes Cryptophytes

15. Found on the surface of soil.
Botrydium Vaucheria

16. Subterranean algae which can
grow upto a depth of one meter
or more.
Chlorella

17. Algae found in aerial habitat. They
live on moist rocks, walls, tree
trunks, fencing wires, telegraph
poles, animals and other aerial
substrata.

18. Epiphyllophytes Epiphloephytes
Epizoophytes Lithophytes

19. Epiphytic alga found on
leaves of other plants.
Trentepohlia Cephaleuros

20. Grow on bark of trees along
with mosses and liverworts.
Scytonema

21. These forms grow on the
bodies of land animals.
Cladophora

22. Grows on rocks and walls.
Stigonema Calothrix

23. These algae grow on ice and snow adapting
themselves at freezing temperatures. They
impart various colours like red, green and
yellow to the snow.
Chlamydomonas

24. These are algae which grow within
other plants.
Anabaena Nostoc

25. Many algal forms show symbiotic
relationship with fungi and this
association is called Lichens.
Lichens

26. Certain algae occur inside the body
of animals.
Zoochlorella

27. Some algae are parasitic upon other
plants.
Cephaleuros
