Algae most commonly occurs in water in which they may be suspended (planktonic) or attached and living on the surface (benthic). Algae exhibits a wide persity of body forms, ranging from unicellular to colonial, filamentous, membranous or sheet-like, and tubular types.
In the pond, most common types of algae found are the free-floating, unicellular green algae and filamentous type commonly know as Blanket Weed.
Algae can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic. Most are photoautotrophic; they require only light and carbon dioxide as the principal source of energy and carbon. Chemo-heterotrophic algae require external organic compounds as carbon and energy.
Several algae grow as endosymbionts within plants, some are attached to the surface of various structures, and a few lead a parasitic existence. (Prescott et al, 1999).
