Brown Algae
contents Introduction . Definition Shape Nutrition requirements Economic importance Reproduction Lifecycle stages Habitat Dispersal Impacts and control Species
Introduction : Brown algae include approximately 1500 speices , are the largest and complex of all algae . Mutlicellular and marine . Brown or olive colour to accessory pigments in the chloroplast Range from simple filamentous to kelps.
Introduction : Rich in terms of biodiversity *Inhabiting great array of habitats *Critical primary producers in pelagic and coastal environments and in both temperate and tropical regions around the world
Shape : Spherical and about 1/25 inch diameter . Consists of branched upright filaments and hairs arising from abase of procumbent filament .
Economic importance : Food, secondary products Sources of alginates Emulsifiers in everything from paint to ice cream From kelp beds .
Nutritional requirements : from photosynthesis by absorbing dissolved nutrients
Reproduction and dispersal : entirely asexually by means of spores deriving from multi-cell sporangia (organ containing or producing spores) with each cell containing a single spore.
Lifecycle Stages : The lifecycle of brown algae typically involves an "alternation of generations" between diploid and haploid .
Life cycle :
Habitat : temperate coasts and in colder water of the Northern Hemisphere. They inhabit the intertidal and subtidal zones of coastal waters.
Impacts and control : Algal blooms may cause great invasion of many species that may cause serious problems . By eradiation technique it can be solved in right scientific way .
Biology : pigments Chl a & c & fucoxanthin Cell wall Cellulose and mucilage Plant body e.g., holdfast, stipe and blades Reproduction/meiosis/life history Most: sporic ( haplodiplontic ) One order: gametic ( diplontic )
