The members of chlorophyceae are commonly called green algae. The plant body may be unicellular, colonial or filamentous. They are usually grass green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and b.Some commonly found green algae are: Chlamydomonas, Volvox, Ulothrix, Spirogyra and Chara.

  • Agar, one of the commercial products obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria are used to grow microbes and in preparations of ice-creams and jellies.
  • The members of phaeophyceae or brown algae are found primarily in marine habitats. They show great variation in size and form. They vary in colour from olive green to various shades of brown depending upon the amount of the xanthophyll pigment, fucoxanthin present in them. Food is stored as complex carbohydrates, which may be in the form of laminarin or mannitol.
  • Carrageen is also used to thicken, emulsify and preserve foods and drinks. It comes from red algae.
