Oedogonium is a freshwater, filamentous green alga identified by rings formed at the ends of cells during cell division. It reproduces through both sexual and asexual means. Asexual reproduction occurs through fragmentation, zoospore formation, or aplanospore formation. Sexual reproduction is oogamous and can be either macrandrous or nannandrous. Fertilization occurs when sperm enter an egg, forming a zygote. The zygote produces a thick-walled oospore which undergoes meiosis to produce haploid zoospores that germinate into new haploid filaments.
Oedogonium is a common freshwater green alga that grows as unbranched filaments attached to substrates by a basal holdfast cell. The filaments are made up of elongated cylindrical cells containing a single chloroplast. Reproduction can occur vegetatively through fragmentation, or sexually through the formation of zoospores or oogonia and antherozoids. Fertilization of an oogonium results in the formation of a resting oospore, which can germinate to form a new filament and complete the life cycle. Species can be either monoecious/dioecious or produce dwarf male filaments (nannandria) containing antheridia.

Oedogonium is a genus of filamentous green algae that reproduces both sexually and asexually. It has distinctive rings formed at cell divisions. Sexual reproduction involves the production of sperm by antheridia and eggs by oogonia, which can fuse to form zygotes. Zygotes and fragments of the algae can then develop into new filaments through asexual reproduction. Oedogonium is classified in the kingdom Protista, division Chlorophyta, class Chlorophyceae, and order Oedogonianles.

Algae: general characters and classificationBIYYANI SUMAN
Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that are distinguished by their lack of tissues, their predominantly aquatic habitat, and unicellular or multicellular thalli not differentiated into roots, stems, and leaves. They range in size from microscopic to large seaweeds and reproduce both sexually through gametes and asexually through cell division or fragmentation. Major divisions of algae are classified based on pigments, food storage, flagella structure, cell and thallus structure, and life cycles.
Algae are defined as small autotrophic organisms that do not show differentiation of cells or tissues. Their reproductive organs are unicellular and all cells are fertile if multicellular. They range in size from microscopic to single-celled to large seaweeds. Algae are eukaryotic photoautotrophs that primarily inhabit aquatic habitats. They contain chloroplasts and carry out photosynthesis using pigments like chlorophyll.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.
Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptxshubhijain836
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement. Key words. stars: black holes– stars: formation– Galaxy: center– galaxies: star formation
Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
3. OCCURANCE
Oedogonium is a fresh-
water filamentous alga
usually present in ponds,
lakes and shallow tanks
The filaments are attached
to rocks, logs etc. or are
epiphytic on aquatic plants
and other algae
Some species are terrestrial
growing on moist soils
4. THALLUS STRUCTURE
The Thallus of Oedogonium is
multicellular, filamentous, unbranched,
uniseriate
All cells except basal and apical cell
cylindrical and alike
Basal cell non-green Holdfast
Apical cell rounded or accuminate
Cap cells a distinctive feature
5. CELL STRUCTURE
Each cell is cylindrical with a rigid cell wall
3 layers – outer chitin, middle pectin and
inner cellulose layer
Protoplasm peripheral
Nucleus lies in the middle region of the cell
Chloroplast reticulate with pyrenoids
present at the intersections of the
chloroplast reticulum
In some cells apical caps are present –
cap cells
6. GROWTH AND CELL DIVISION
Growth takes place as a result of divisions in the intercalary cells
All cells except holdfast and apical cell capable of division
Formation of ring of wall material in the upper part of the cell
Nucleus moves to the centre of the cell and divides mitoticaally
An unattached floating septum is laid down between two daughter
nuclei
The ring of the wall material now elongates, causing a split the wall
near the apical ring
12. ZOOSPORE FORMATION
Formed singly within
Zoosporangium
Zoospore uninucleate
and multiflagellate
with a ring of flagella
at the base of hyaline
region
16. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
On the basis of
distribution of sex
organs, the genus is
divided into two groups
Macrandrous species Nanandrous species
17. MACRANDROUS VS NANANDROUS SPECIES
Antheridia borne on the
filament of normal size
Macrandrous Monoecious
- If oogonia and antheridia
borne on the same filament
Macrandous Dioecious- if
borne on different filaments
Antheridia – rows of 20-40
Each antheridium contains
two antherozoids
Antheridia borne on dwarf
male filament called
Nanandrium
Always dioecious
Produce Androsporangia
instead of antheridia either on
the sme filament or on different
filaments
Likewise we have
Gynandrosporous
Idioandrosporous
Androspores borne singly and
slightly larger than antherozoids
18. MACRANDROUS VS NANANDROUS SPECIES
Antherozoids uninucleate,
multiflagellate structures
Smaller than zoospores
Oogonia bear single egg
with hyaline receptive spot
Fertilization
Zygote formation
Meiosis
Zoomeiospores
Androspores germinate on
the female filament to form
dwarf male or Nanandrium
Bears antheridia
Release of antherozoids
