golden algae
Golden algae, also known as Chrysophytes, are a group of algae that belong to the phylum Chrysophyta. They are predominantly unicellular and microscopic, found mostly in fresh water. The name “golden algae” is derived from their typical golden-brown color, caused by the presence of carotenoids (yellow and brown pigments) in their chloroplasts. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by producing oxygen and serving as food for various aquatic organisms. Some species of golden algae have the ability to form harmful algal blooms, causing significant damage to fish populations and other aquatic life forms.
