Algae: History, Culture & Applications

Algae (/ˈældʒiː/ ⓘ AL-jee, UK also /ˈælɡiː/ AL-ghee; sing.: alga /ˈælɡə/ ⓘ) are any of a large and diverse group of photosynthetic organisms. It excludes the land plants (embryophytes). Such organisms range from microscopic unicellular microalgae (including cyanobacteria and phytoplankton) to seaweeds, multicellular macroalgae which may grow up to 50…
