In this article we will discuss about the occurrence of algae and fungi in aero-microbiology. Fungi: Work of K.C. Mehta lent support for Joshi (1972) and Nagarajan and Singh (1973) who found that brown and black rust of wheat are disseminated from the hills of South India to Central India by "hop jump" in which a storm depression formed in [...]
A famous botanist F.E. Fritsch (1935) classified algae into following 11 classes, based on pigmentation, reserve food material, flagellation and reproduction. Class 1. Chlorophyceae (= Isokontae): Generally algae are fresh water and chlorophyllous thallophytes. Chlorophyll b and carotenoides are present in chloroplasts. The cell wall is made up of cellulose and food is synthesized in the form of starch. Motile [...]

There are, however, certain intriguing characters which quite often give plenty of scope for speculation. The complete absence of flagellate stages might lead one to assume the origin of the Cyanophyta from unicellular [...]
