Description Micro algae are diverse group of microscopic photo-autotrophic nonvascular
plants with photosynthesizing pigments. They are unicellular and
sometimes form extended chains with simple reproductive structures. These
unicellular primary producers are dispersed throughout the photic zones of the
ocean and accomplish major share of the primary production in the marine
environment and account half of the primary production in the earth. They
belong to both prokaryotes (Blue Green algae, Cyanobacteria) and eukaryotes
(True algae). The phylogeny of microalgae basically depends on the traditional
morphological identification. Morphological identification, based on the
structure and arrangement of cell organelles, has limited application when
environmental condition like salinity, pH, light, temperature, nutrient
condition can change the structure of the cell. Recently more research has been
carried out in the field of algal taxonomy, wherein many exciting molecular
and ultrastuctural evidences has emerged. Due to its diverse distribution, only
about 40,000 to 60,000 species of microalgae have been described. There are
many species yet to be described including the extremophiles (Norton et al.,
1996; Sastre and Posten, 2010).
