Green, red and brown algae all have multicellular macroscopic forms that make up the familiar seaweeds. Green algae , an informal group, contains about 8,000 recognised species. [ 49 ] Many species live most of their lives as single cells or are filamentous, while others form colonies made up from long chains of cells, or are highly ...
DNA barcoding of algae is commonly used for species identification and phylogenetic studies. Algae form a phylogenetically heterogeneous group, meaning that the application of a single universal barcode/ marker for species delimitation is unfeasible, thus different markers/barcodes are applied for this aim in different algal groups.

Aquaria and ponds can be filtered using algae, which absorb nutrients from the water in a device called an algae scrubber, also known as an algae turf scrubber. [ 129 ] [ 130 ] Agricultural Research Service scientists found that 60–90% of nitrogen runoff and 70–100% of phosphorus runoff can be captured from manure effluents using a ...
Coralline algae are widespread in all of the world's oceans, where they often cover close to 100% of rocky substrata. Only one species, Pneophyllum cetinaensis, is found in freshwater. Its ancestor lived in brackish water, and was already adapted to osmotic stress and rapid changes in water salinity and temperature.
Very-low-temperature fluids: liquid nitrogen [45] and hydrogen. [45] High-temperature liquids: sodium chloride. [78] Sulfuric acid in liquid form is strongly polar. It remains liquid at higher temperatures than water, its liquid range being 10 °C to 337 °C at a pressure of 1 atm, although above 300 °C it slowly decomposes.
Chlorophyta (green algae), mostly unicellular algae found in fresh water. [44] The chlorophyta are of particular importance because they are believed to be most closely related to the evolution of land plants. [45] Diatoms, unicellular algae that have siliceous cell walls. [46] They are the most abundant form of algae in the ocean, although ...
Dunaliella salina is a type of halophile unicellular green algae especially found in hypersaline environments, such as salt lakes and salt evaporation ponds. [2] Known for its antioxidant activity because of its ability to create a large amount of carotenoids , it is responsible for most of the primary production in hypersaline environments ...
