Taxonomists, at least in the traditional Linnaeus method for classifying plants, separate theplantae kingdominto four major groups, ordivisions,including: mosses and liverworts, which have no proper root systems; ferns, which have proper roots and produce spores (specialized reproductive cells rather ...
These hardy creatures are remarkable not only because of the environments in which they live, but also because many of them couldn't survive in supposedly normal, moderate environments. For example, the microorganism Ferroplasma acidiphilum needs a large amount of iron to survive, quantitie...
Algae can be unicellular as well as multicellular. Large and complex forms found in the ocean are commonly referred to as seaweed and can look very similar to higher plants. Algae are voluntarily and involuntarily kept by many aquarists. Some species are very beautiful and well-liked, while oth...

A family of freshwater algae, within the kingdom Plantae. Members of this family form large macroscopic filaments. Pectin A carbohydrate polymer (a polysaccharide) that is part of the cell wall in walled cells of many organisms, such as algae and plants; pectin crosslinks can play a part in...

In previous studies, we have shown that yeasts can assist pollinators in locating nectar, which is crucial for their nutrition and the reproduction of many angiosperms. Additionally, in soil, yeasts can also act as plant growth promoters. Given the importance of yeasts for plant development, ...
