  2. Prochlorococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prochlorococcus

    [1] [2] Prochlorococcus strains, called ecotypes, have physiological differences enabling them to exploit different ecological niches. [3] Analysis of the genome sequences of Prochlorococcus strains show that 1,273 [4] genes are common to all strains, and the average genome size is about 2,000 genes. [1] In contrast, eukaryotic algae have over ...

  3. Glycocalyx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycocalyx

    The glycocalyx is a type of identifier that the body uses to distinguish between its own healthy cells and transplanted tissues, diseased cells, or invading organisms. Included in the glycocalyx are cell-adhesion molecules that enable cells to adhere to each other and guide the movement of cells during embryonic development. [3]

  4. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlamydomonas_reinhardtii

    Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a single-cell green alga about 10 micrometres in diameter that swims with two flagella.It has a cell wall made of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, a large cup-shaped chloroplast, a large pyrenoid, and an eyespot apparatus that senses light.

  5. Ectocarpus siliculosus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectocarpus_siliculosus

    Brown algae have many unique characteristics in terms of their metabolism and cell biology. Ergo, brown algae and in particular, E. siliculosus, are often used for explorative research. Its genome was the first brown macroalgal genome to be sequenced, with the expectation that E. siliculosus will serve as a genetic and genomic model for brown ...

  6. Cyanobacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacteria

    The classic taxonomic criterion has been the cell morphology and the plane of cell division. In Pleurocapsales, the cells have the ability to form internal spores (baeocytes). The rest of the sections include filamentous species. In Oscillatoriales, the cells are uniseriately arranged and do not form specialized cells (akinetes and heterocysts ...

  8. Sphaeropleales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphaeropleales

    They have biflagellate zoospores with flagella that are directly opposed in direction (the DO arrangement): Sphaeroplea, Atractomorpha, Neochloris, Hydrodictyon, and Pediastrum. All of these taxa have basal body core connections. [2] Motile cells generally lack cell walls or have only a very fine layer surrounding the cell membrane. [4]

  9. Green algae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_algae

    Green algae have chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll a and b, giving them a bright green colour, as well as the accessory pigments beta carotene (red-orange) and xanthophylls (yellow) in stacked thylakoids. [12] [13] The cell walls of green algae usually contain cellulose, and they store carbohydrate in the form of starch. [14]
