Algae
Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms that have the ability to conduct photosynthesis. Certain algae are familiar to most people.For instance, seaweeds (such as kelp or phytoplankton), pond scum or the algal blooms in lakes.Algae can be grown using water resources such as brackish-, sea-, and wastewater unsuitable for cultivating agricultural crops. When using wastewater, such as municipal, animal and even some industrial runoff, they can help in its treatment and purification, while benefiting from using the nutrients present.Study of Phycology is called Algae.Types7 major types
