Microalgae are microscopic organisms that can perform photosynthesis to produce energy. They are found in various aquatic environments and play a vital role in marine ecosystems by serving as a source of food for many marine organisms. Microalgae are also used in various industries, such as food production and biofuel generation.
I totally disagree with calling it a microalgae, but some people do. It is not capable of photosynthesis, although it is distantly related to organisms such as diatoms and the brown algae, which are. It is an oomycete in the order Thraustochytriales. The common name for this group is thraustochytrid.
No, diatoms are not fungi. Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton, which are photosynthetic microorganisms belonging to the group of algae. Fungi are a separate kingdom of organisms that are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter.
well algea is a nippy and yeast is a whippey
Can be both. There are plenty of unicellular algae, such as Euglena, but most plants you see underwater are algae too (as long as they don't have flowers; a water lily is not an alga), and these are obviously multicellular. :P Oh, by the way, the singular is alga. One alga, two algae. ^^
Algae can be multicellular, such as brown algae (like kelp) or red algae (like nori). They can also be unicellular, such as green algae (like Chlorella) or diatoms. Algae exhibit a wide range of forms and structures, allowing them to thrive in various aquatic environments.

Algaculture is the business of farming of algae, microalgae, and macroalgae, including kelp and seaweed.

Microalgae are consumed by a variety of organisms across different ecosystems. Zooplankton, such as copepods and krill, are primary grazers of microalgae in aquatic environments. Additionally, larger fish, shellfish, and some marine mammals also feed on these tiny plants, either directly or indirectly through the food web. In freshwater systems, small invertebrates and certain species of fish also play a role in consuming microalgae.
Some methods to increase the oil content of microalgae include genetic engineering to enhance lipid production, optimizing growth conditions such as adjusting light intensity and nutrient availability, and using stress-inducing techniques like nitrogen deprivation to promote lipid accumulation in the cells. Additionally, selection and cultivation of high-oil producing strains can also help to increase the overall oil content of microalgae.
as they are filter feeder, it filter phytoplankton as food. just give them phytoplankton such as diatoms and microalgae..

These algae utilize chlorophyll a in photosynthesis. There is a big difference between the species of this genus with other microalgae. Nannocloropsis algae have neither chlorophyll b nor chlorophyll c.
Yes, Diatom is a protist. Diatom is considered a plant-like protist.
Biofuel contains energy from recent carbon fixation, such as plants and microalgae. Bioethanol is made by fermentation of carbohydrates such as corn, sugarcane or sweet sorghum. it is used as gas additive to increase octane and improve vehicle emissions.
