UNIT 1(A) Lower Plants Algae + GENERAL DESCRIPTION The study of algae is called phycology or algology. They are simple, thallose, autotrophic, non-vascular plant having unicelled sex-organs showing no embryo formation. > Occurrence The algal forms may occur in fresh water, marine water as also on the soil. The fresh water forms may be phytoplanktonic (passively floating), epipelic (attached to bottom soil), benthos (attached to submerged objects), epilithic (attached to rocks) or water blooms. The algal forms may also occur as cryophyte (growing on snow), thermophytes (growing in hot water springs), epiphyte, endophyte, epizoic, endozoic, symbiotic as well as parasites Xeg., Cephaleuros). > Thallus Organization The thallus may be unicelled or multicelled. The unicelled forms may be motile, rhizopodial, (forming pseudopodia) or coccoid (becoming fixed for some duration). The multicelled forms may be colonial (of independent individuals), palmelloid (enclosed in mucilagenous matrix), dendroid (microscopic tree), filamentous, siphonous (coenocytic), heterotrichous (having prostrate and erect systems), or parenchymatous. A filament may be fixed or free-floating; branched or unbranched; branching may be true or false; monosiphonous or polysiphonous. > Cell Structure The algae show three types of cellular organizations, namely prokaryotic (Myxophyceae), esokaryotic (Dinophyceae) and eukaryotic (other groups). The prokaryotes lack a well rganised nucleus as also the cell organelles except ribosomes. The flagella may be acronematic ‘whiplash type) or pleuronematic (tinsel type). In Myxophyceae the innermost layer of the cell all is made-up of mucopeptide. In others, it is cellulosic. * Pigmentation The algae possess three classes of pigments, namely chlorophylls (a, b, c, d and e), ‘arotenoids (c, B, 7, €-carotenes, lycopene, flavicine, leutein, fucoxanthin, violaxanthin, sstaxanthim, zeaxanthin, myxoxanthin) and biliproteins (phycocyanin, phycoerythrin and Nophycocyanin). The chlorophyll-a is universal and the biliproteins occur in red and blue-green Igae. >Reserve Food ‘The reserve food may be strach and oils (Chlorophyceae), chrysolaminarin and oils Xanthophyceae, Bacillariophyceae), laminarin, mannitol and oils (Phaeophyceae), floridean tarch and galactan (Rhodophyceae) or glycogen and cyanophycin (Cyanophyceae). ‘Reproduction The algae reproduce vegetatively, asexually and sexually. TIPS ON BOTANY Vegetative Reproduction : The algal forms reproduce vegetatively by fragmentation, fission, budding, forming gemmae, hormogonia, tubers and akinetes. Asexual Reproduction : The forms reproduce asexually by forming motile zoospores or non-motile aplanospores (thin walled), autospores, hypnospores (thick walled), exospores, endospores, carpospores, tetraspores (four spores) and monospores (one spore). The zoospores may be bi-, quadri-(Ulothrix) or multifagellate (Vaucheria). They may be of different size (micro- & macrozoosporpore) e.g., Ulothrix. Sexual Reproduction : The sexual reproduction may be isogamous (by fusion of identical gametes), anisogamous (by fusion of non-identical gametes) or oogamous. The isogamous forms may also show autogamy or hologamy (fusion of two vegetative cells). The anisogamy may be morphological eg., Ectocarpus or physiological eg., Spirogyra The oogamous species show formation of antheridia and oogonia. Simplest type o1 oogamy is seen in Chlamydomonas. The most complex and specialized type of oogamy is seen in Chara where the sex organs appear to be surrounded by sterile cells. Classification Jussieu, 1789. Fritsch, 1935 clas: @ Gi) Gi Linnaeus, 1754 differentiated the group and named it as algae. It was delimited by d. ied the group into eleven classes as under : Class — Chlorophyceae ~ (Isokontae) — Green algae Class ~ Xanthophyceae - (Heterokontae) - Yellow-green algae )) Class — Chrysophyceae — Golden-brown algae (iv) Class - Bacillariophycae — (Diatoms) Yellow or golden-brown algae vy) Class — Cryptophyceae (vi) Class - Dinophyceae - (Peridinieae) (vii) Class - Chloromonadineae (viii) Class - Euglenineae (ix) Class - Phaeophyceae - Brown algae (x) Class - Rhodophyceae ~ Red algae (xi) Class - Myxophyceae — (Cyanophyceae) ~ Blue-green algae Economic Importance A. Useful Aspects : The algal forms are useful on account of their ability to fix atmospher’ nitrogen (Anabaena, Aulosira, Nostoc, Scytonema etc.). They are also used as foc (Porphyra, Alaria, Ulva, Chlorella etc.). The popular products are ‘amanori’, ‘asakus nori’ (from Porphyra) ‘kombu’ (Laminaria), ‘cachiyugo’ (Ulva + Durvillea), etc. ‘The algal forms also provide alginates (from Laminaria, Fucus), carrageenin (fro. Chondrus crispus), kieselguhr (from diatoms), agar-agar (from Gracillaria, Gelidiun and minerals (iodine from Laminaria). Besides, they are also used for disposing tk sewage (Chlorella) as well as for fodder purposes (Sargassum). An antibotic chlorelli is extracted from Chlorella. Harmful Aspects : Some algal forms are extremely poisonous (Prymnesiu: Microcystis). The red rust of tea is caused by Cephaleuros. They spoil the drinki. water by forming water blooms and also foul the marine vessels.

Nutrition It is an autotrophic alga and the reserve food is strach. Reproduction It reproduces vegetatively, asexually and sexually. (i) Vegetative Reproduction : It occurs by fragmentation as also by akinete formation. (ii) Asexual Reproduction : Asexually, it forms zoospores, palmella stage, aplanospores and hypnospores. The zoospores are of three types-quadriflagelate_macrozoospores, quadriflagellate microzospores and biflagellate microzospres. The spores germinate into a new filament. (iii) Sexual Reproduction : The sexual reproduction is isogamous. The gametes are Fig. 3. Ulothrix: A. Akinetes; B. Pahnella stage. pyramidate and anteriorly biflagellate. They fuse to form the quadriflagellate zygospore. The zygospore withdraws flagella, secretes thick wall and undergoes meiosis after some rest to form 4 - 16 zoomeiospores or aplanomeiospores which give rise to a new filament. A gamete may also develop into azygospore parthenogenetically. +Life Cycle Zoospores n Palmella stage Fragmentation a Akinetes n Vegetative ULOTHRIX n Zoomeiospores Aplanomeiospores on n OVO ‘Sexual Meiosis Fusion 1a TIPS ON BOTANY SPIROGYRA Systematic Position Algae, Chlorophyta, Chlorophyceae, Zygnemateles, (= Conjugales), Zygnemataceae, Spirogyra.

Scalariform conjugation. LOWER PLANTS : ALGAE 19 (ii) Asexual Reproduction : It occurs in S. karnalae by the formation of thin walled non-motile aplanospores. (ii) Sexual Reproduction : It occurs by conjugation which is of two types - lateral and scalariform. The lateral conjugation may be direct or indirect. It involves participation of two adjacent cells of a filament. The gametes are amoeboid. During direct lateral conjugation a performation develops in the septum inbetween the two cells (gametangia). A conjugation canal is formed during indirect lateral conjugation. The scalariform cojugation involves participation of two filaments. A conjugation canal is formed between participating cells (gametangia). Here one cell acts as male gametangium and the other as female. The gamete that moves may be called as male. The sexual reproduction corresponds to physiological anisogamy. As a result of syngamy the zygospore is formed. It is three layered. Meiosis occurs in the zygospore forming 4 nuclei, of which 3 degenerate. It germinates to form the germling. +Life Cycle ‘Aplanospores Asexual Fragméntation a SPIROGYRA n Germiing Lateral/Scalariform ?
