Algae
Introduction:
The study of algae known as Phycology.
Algae are simple,Unicellular,non-jacked sex organ
And have no embryo development.
Algae are aquatic plants they can be present in marine or
fresh water
All algae are present in Kingdom protista
Algae…
• Most live in water attached to rocks for free
floating
• Use sunlight for photosynthesis
• Main food producers in the oceans
• Important suppliers of oxygen
Diatoms – used in
detergents, paint
removers, toothpaste
Golden algae
5 Types of Algae
• The five algal phyla are:
Bacillariophyta (Diatoms)
Chlorophyta (Green Algae)
Cyanopyta (Blue-Green Algae)
Chrysophyta (Yellow-Green Algae)
Rhodophyta (Red Algae)
GENERAL STRUCTURE
• Thallic (haploid)
• Four types of algae
• Unicellular
• Colonial
• Filamentous
• multicellular
1. Unicells: single cells, motile
with flagellate (like
Chlamydomonas and Euglena)
or nonmotile (like Diatoms).
2. Colonies:
Assemblage of individual cells with
variable or constant number of cells
that remain constant throughout the
colony life in mucilaginous matrix
(containing an extracellular matrix
made of a gelatinous glycoprotein),
these colonies may be motile (like
Volvox and Pandorina) or nonmotile
(like Scendesmus and Pediastrum).
3. Filaments:
Daughter cells remain attached
after cell division and form a cell
chain; adjacent cells share cell
wall maybe unbranched such as
Zygnema and Ulthrix) or
branched such as Cladophora
Cladophora
Body plan of Algae...
Laminaria (kelp)
Blade
(fronds
)
Stipe
Holdfast
The plant body of an
alga is called the
thallus (pl. thalli)
Classification of algae...
• Color
• Type of storage product (food)
• Thallus (size & structure)
• Reproduction
Reproduction of Algae
• Sexual
• gametes unite to form a
zygote (sperm/egg)
Most sexual reproduction is
triggered by environmental
stress.
Sexual Reproduction
Meiosis
Zoospores
Plus and minus gametes
Zygospore
• Asexual
• No gametes (no union of
cells)
• Mitosis (unicellular cell
may divide into two new
cells)
Asexual Reproduction
i. Fragmentation
ii. Spores
iii. Binary fission
Spirogyra reproduce sexually by
conjugation
Range in size from microscopic to single celled organisms to large
seaweed
Autotrophic
Form the reproductive structures – gametangia or gamete
chambers
Aquatic and have flagella at some point in life
Often contain pyrenoids, organelles that synthesis and store starch
General Characteristics
 Some algal divisions can also be classified as bacteria, protozoa, but
most are classified as protista.
 Only green algae are true plants in the evolutionary sense.
Primitive plants
No true roots, only attachment structures (Holdfasts)
Produce spores (not seeds)– motile or non-motile
Most have sexual and asexual reproduction
Non-vascular, do not possess an internal transport system.
Economic Importance Algae
BIOFUEL PRODUCTION
FROM ALGAE
WHAT TYPE OF ALGAE
• “Green” Buildings
• Biofuel Vehicles
Future Aspects
More Research & Development
Further Private & Government
Investment
Clearer Regulatory & Statutory
Guidelines for Algae Businesses
Agar-Agar
• It is dried, jelly like, non-nitrogenious
• It is use as a base of different base of culture media in laboratory for
culturing microorganisms
• Its food value and ability to afford good range of temperature for
culturing
• Alginates:
• The alginates are used in Rubber-tyre industry, Paints, ice-creams, and
in presentation of flame-proof fabrics and plastic particles
Carrageenin
• It is a carbohydrate mucilage algae extracted from Red
algae used as clearing agent in beer preparation, in
preparation of thooth-pastes, cosmetics ,paints , and in
pharamaceutical industries
Iodine
• The member of brown algae such as luminaria and focus
yield iodine
Diatomite
• It is cell wall material of diatoms.
• It is variously such as food for many aquatic animals
• Used in filtration process in sugar refining and brewing
industry
Source of food
• More than 100 species belonging to green-,brown-,red-
algae are used as food for humans because presence of
proteins,carbohydrates,minerals and vitamins.
Antibiotics and Medicines
• Some algae yield antibiotics e-g, Chlorellin Is
obtained from green alga Chlorella, that
inhibits the growth of certain bacteria.
• Brown algae is used in manufacture of
various goiter madicines
• Treat the illness:
• with a multi-drug called Coartem.
• It contains sweet wormwood which is an important natural herb.
• It is unfortunately quite expensive.
• It is a 3 day course.
• Kill the mosquitoes:
• insecticide-treated mosquito nets act as a physical barrier and actively kill the
mosquitoes.
• Spraying with DDT, a repellent. This is, however, harmful to the
environment.
Harmful Aspects of algae
• Water blooms
• Death of living
organisms
• Diseases in human beings
Parasitic Activities
Thank you…
