What we have learned about algae organisms.
I learned a ton about algae this week. The various species of algae help determine water quality because some algae love pollution and would be found in an unhealthy environment, while others are found in healthy environments and clean the water.
Batrachospermum is an algae organism that is found in shaded water, soft water, no sun and cold water.
This particular algae also an indicator of clean water.
Euglena is the number one organism capible of living in poluted water/
It has an eyespot that is a photo-receptor cell that tells the Euglena where the light is for photosynthesis.
Oscillatoria is the second most tolerant to pollution.
It's name comes from the filaments that glides back and forth on it.
