In this article we will discuss about the reproduction in basillariophyta. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of reproduction in bacillariophyta. Diatom cells multiply usually by a peculiar method of cell division. An increase in the volume of the frustule results in a slight separation of the valves which is followed by mitotic division of [...]
The following points highlight the three families under which chlorellaceae has been classified. The families are:- 1. Chlorellaceae 2. Coelastraceae 3. Hydrodictyaceae. Family # 1. Chlorellaceae: This family includes the unicellular non-motile genus Chlorella which is a tool of many physiological experiments. It reproduces by the development of non-motile spores. Genus Chlorella: This unicellular alga has a very varied habitat. [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Features of Bacillariophyta 2. Classification of Bacillariophyta 3. Relationship 4. Phylogeny. Features of Bacillariophyta: The Bacillariophyta, commonly known as the diatoms, are ubiquitous algae of both fresh- and salt-water and of damp places including aerial habitats as, old walls, rocky cliffs, bark of trees, and damp soils. Some are submerged in water [...]
