Lab 6 Various “Protista”
Dictyosteliomycota • Common name: Cellular slime molds • Synonyms: Acrasiomycota (in part) • Mode of nutrition: Heterotrophic: ingestive • Habitat: Terrestrial: moist decaying vegetation • Growth habit: Unicellular myxamoebae (ingestive cells), multicellular dispersal structure • Cell wall: None in myxamoebae, cellulose in sporangium
Dictyosteliomycota • Undulipodia (“flagella”): None • Food storage: Glycogen • Clonal reproduction: Mitosis of myxamoebae; production of aplanospores for dispersal • Sexual reproduction: Rare and poorly known • Representative genera: Dictyostelium • Recognized by: “slugs”, individual (not grouped) stalked sporangia
Myxomycota • Common name: Plasmodial slime molds • Synonyms: Mycetozoa • Mode of nutrition: Heterotrophic: ingestive • Habitat: Terrestrial: moist decaying vegetation • Growth habit: Multinucleate single-cell plasmodium • Cell wall: None • Undulipodia (“flagella”): One or two whiplash on aquatic haploid uninucleate cells; otherwise none
Myxomycota • Food storage: Glycogen • Clonal reproduction: None • Sexual reproduction: Diploid phase resembles diploid dominant; haploid phase resembles unicellular • Representative genera: Arcyria, Dictydium, Physarum, Stemonitis • Recognized by: Plasmodium; meiosporangia often clustered.

Euglenophyta • Common name: Euglenas • Synonyms: None • Mode of nutrition: Autotrophic; green chloroplasts (secondary), or heterotrophic by ingestion • Habitat: Freshwater • Growth habit: Unicellular • Cell wall: None (a proteinaceous pellicle beneath the plasma membrane provides stiffness)
Euglenophyta • Undulipodia (“flagella”): Whiplash; one long for swimming, one short, confined to the vacuole • Food storage: Paramylon • Clonal reproduction: Mitosis by unicells • Sexual reproduction: None known • Representative genera: Euglena, Phacus • Recognized by: Green but no cell wall, eyespot often prominent

Dinophyta • Common name: Dinoflagellates • Synonyms: Pyrrhophyta • Mode of nutrition: Autotrophic; brown chloroplasts (secondary), or heterotrophic by ingestion • Habitat: Marine, freshwater • Growth habit: Unicellular • Cell wall: Cellulose or none
Dinophyta • Undulipodia (“flagella”): Ordinarily two whiplash, one in equatorial groove and one in longitudinal groove • Food storage: Chrysolaminarin • Clonal reproduction: Mitosis by unicells • Sexual reproduction: Poorly known in many species, some with complex sexual cycles • Representative genera: Ceratium, Gonyaulax, Noctiluca, Peridinium, Pfiesteria • Recognized by: Grooves for flagella

Rhodophyta • Common name: Red algae • Synonyms: None • Mode of nutrition: Autotrophic; red chloroplasts • Habitat: Marine, freshwater • Growth habit: Multicellular; filamentous or plectenchyma; multicellular crusts and films, rarely unicellular. • Cell wall: Cellulose, galactans such as agar and carrageenan
Rhodophyta • Undulipodia (“flagella”): None (no basal bodies) • Food storage: Floridean starch • Clonal reproduction: aplanospores • Sexual reproduction: Isomorphic alternation of generations with interpolated carposporophyte phase, oogamous • Representative genera: Chondrus, Corallina, Polysiphonia, Porphyra • Recognized by: Red plants; no flagella; cystocarps; tetraspores
