Cyanidioschyzon merolae is a small (2μm), club-shaped, unicellular haploid red alga adapted to high sulfur acidic hot spring environments (pH 1.5, 45 °C). [2] [3] The cellular architecture of C. merolae is extremely simple, containing only a single chloroplast and a single mitochondrion and lacking a vacuole and cell wall. [4]
Dulse is one of many edible algae. Algaculture may become an important part of a healthy and sustainable food system [11]. Several species of algae are raised for food. While algae have qualities of a sustainable food source, "producing highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals" and e.g. having a high protein ...
Most algae are harmless, LCRA officials said, but some species — notably cyanobacteria or blue-green algae — can produce toxins that can be dangerous to animals and people. Lake safety for pets
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) bloom on Lake Erie (United States) in 2009. These kinds of algae can cause harmful algal bloom. A harmful algal bloom (HAB), or excessive algae growth, is an algal bloom that causes negative impacts to other organisms by production of natural algae-produced toxins, water deoxygenation, mechanical damage to other organisms, or by other means.
Nutrient pollution, a form of water pollution, refers to contamination by excessive inputs of nutrients.It is a primary cause of eutrophication of surface waters (lakes, rivers and coastal waters), in which excess nutrients, usually nitrogen or phosphorus, stimulate algal growth. [1]
Dogs may be exposed by drinking the water, eating the algae or licking it off their fur," according to the city. "People can have symptoms from these toxins as well. Because humans are less likely ...
Florideophyceae is a class of exclusively multicellular red algae. [3] [4] They were once thought to be the only algae to bear pit connections, [5] but these have since been found in the filamentous stage of the Bangiaceae. [6] They were also thought only to exhibit apical growth, but there are genera known to grow by intercalary growth. [6]
The species is commonly known as E. spinosum when cultivated and can be found in different colours: brown, green and red. Cultivation of Eucheuma started in the Philippines in the early 1970s [3] and has since been introduced to many other locations with varying results. There are different methods of cultivating E. denticulatum. One of the ...
