Freshwater. Unicellular; large cells, with four flagella. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Filamentous. Produces zoospores. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Marine. Unicellular; brackish, centric cells. Marine medium.

Characterized by shells (tests) made of silica, in two parts.

Marine. Unicellular. Erdschreiber’s medium.

Characterized by reddish plastids (rhodoplasts).

Freshwater. Colonial; net-like structure with multinucleated cells. Basic culture solution.

Freshwater. Unicellular; triangular desmid. Basic culture solution. Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Unicellular; heart-shaped cell. Soil-water medium.

Characterized by a lack of rigid cellulosic walls, instead these organisms have pellicles made of protein. They store paramylon instead of starch.

Marine. Unicellular; contains same pigments as other Golden Algae but contains haptonema, unique to Haptophyceae. Coccoid, from coccoliths. Marine medium. Characterized by golden yellow plastids.

Axenic culture. Food organism. Tetrahymena medium.

Characterized by cilia; nearly all possess two types of nuclei.

Cellular slime mold. Demonstrates amoeboid state, pseudoplasmodial state, and fruiting body, or sorocarp.
