Details About Mycoplasma ,Kingdom Protista , Crysophytes , Euglenoids
Mycoplasma –
- Smallest unicellular anaerobic organisms having no cellwall.
- Pathogenic in plants and animals.
Kingdom Protista –
- Unicellular eukaryotes.
- Primarily aquatic.
- Some have cilia and flagella.
- Reproduction sexual and asexual both.
Crysophytes –
- Fresh water or marine microscopic Planktons.
- Mostly photosynthetic and cheif producer in ocean eg. Diatomsand Golden algae (Desmids).
- Diatoms with cellwalls in two halves having Silica (indistructible).
- Diatomaceous earth is formed by cellwall deposits of Diatoms and used in polishing, filtration of oils and syrups, fire bricks and explosives.
Dinofagellates –
- Marine.
- Photosynthetic yellow , green, blue, brown or red in colour.
- One longitudinal and other transverse two flagella.
- Gonyaulax causes Red tides.
Euglenoids –
- Fresh water forms.
- No cellwall, outer most layer pellicle.
- Two unequal flagella.
- Photosynthetic but also heterotrophic in absence of light ( Mixotroph).
