ALGAE





HABITATS OF ALGAE

  1. Every organism depends on water. There are two main forms of algae: Macro algae (seaweeds), which are present in the littoral zone which includes green, brown, and red algae, and microalgae, which are distributed throughout the ocean waters in both bentheic and littoral environments grown as phytoplankton. They appear in a variety of shapes and colours. Algal blooms are distinguished by a prominent coloration of water due to a huge number of pigmented algae cells, which are known to be mostly made up of bio-toxins. Green, red, brown, and yellow are among the colours. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and red tides are the two main forms of algal blooms (red algal blooms).
  2. These organisms can breed in freshwater lakes and saltwater waters.
  3. It can also withstand different temperatures, oxygen or carbon dioxide concentrations, acidity, and turbidity.
  4. For example, according to algae, giant kelp is found more than 200 meters below the polar ice sheet, while the unicellular green algae Dunaliella salina is found in very salty or high-salt environments such as the Dead Sea.
  5. Plankton are floating, mostly unicellular algae, living in the water.
  6. The algae that adhere to the surface are called benthic algae.
  7. Such algae grow on mud, rocks, other algae, and plants and animals.
  8. Algae can survive on land.
  9. Some unexpected places where they grow are the ground, including tree trunks, animal fur, snow banks, hot springs, and desert crust.
  10. can also live in symbiotic relationships with a variety of non-photosynthetic organisms such as ciliates, sponges, mollusks, and fungi.
  11. Green algae have underlying processes that are poorly understood, including the impacted molecular parts of the photosynthesis. To further understand the molecular processes underlying the physiology of these species under desiccationstress, contemporary techniques based on transcriptomics, proteomics, and/or metabolomics are highly required. The ecology and evolution of practically all species on Earth have been significantly impacted by the recurring development of multicellularity across the tree of life. Numerous of these beginnings were found in various classes of photosynthetic algae, or eukaryotes.

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on  Instagram China’s patent and trademark office has upheld a key patent within the portfolio of CRISPR/Cas9 intellectual property belonging to Nobel Laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier, The Regents of the University of California, and University of Vienna (known collectively as CVC), and licensed for commercial use through ERS Genomics. Dublin-based ERS Genomics said the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) has upheld Patent No. CN201380038920.6, “Methods and Compositions for RNA-guided Target DNA Modification and for RNA-guided Transcription Regulation”. ToolGen claims that it was the  world’s first  filer of patents covering gene editing in eukaryotic cells using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. “The decision by the CNIPA fully upholding the patent further demonstrates its validity and value as part of the patent collection for use of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology,” ERS Genomics stated in announcing the Chinese decision recently. The CVC patents ha

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on Instagram  LAB IN THE BOX XPOSAT - STUDY ABOUT BLACKHOLE (A GIST) Last year was a huge success with Chandrayaan-3. Our ISRO Scientist did a lot of unexpected acts and surprised us all. On January 1st, when this year started, India has proved to be a leading country in the world, not only on land, but also in the sky.  There are a lot of things in our universe that we don't understand. One thing that we don't understand is black holes. These black holes exist in a lot of places in space. From the fact that we are in a black hole, to the fact that all the earth and sun will disappear one day in a black hole, this is something that we don't understand. From the biggest scientist to the modern technology scientist, everyone is looking at this black hole as a mystery. To study this, India has launched a special Mission on January 1st named XPoSat( X-ray Polarimeter Satellite). On January 1st, India launched 10 different satellites throug

History of Biotechnology

HISTORY OF BIOTECHNOLOGY: People have been harnessing biological processes to improve their quality of life for some 10,000 years, beginning with the first agricultural communities. Approximately 6,000 years ago, humans began to tap the biological processes of microorganisms in order to make bread, alcoholic beverages, and cheese and to preserve dairy products. But such processes are not what is meant today by biotechnology, a term first widely applied to the molecular and cellular technologies that began to emerge in the 1960s and ’70s. A fledgling “biotech” industry began to coalesce in the mid- to late 1970s, led by Genentech, a pharmaceutical company established in 1976 by Robert A. Swanson and Herbert W. Boyer to commercialize the recombinant DNA technology pioneered by Boyer, Paul Berg, and Stanley N. Cohen. Early companies such as Genentech, Amgen, Biogen, Cetus, and Genex began by manufacturing genetically engineered substances primarily for medical and environmental uses. For
