Abstract

Algae are the gems of the plant kingdoms; they have the variety of the ranges and the many kinds of the features of the taxonomical values. Algae are famous for the many kinds of the associations in the nature, although many of the algae are the free living, but in some of the cases they are intermingling with many kinds of the other organisms. The associations of the algae with the other organisms are very fruitful kind of the association in the nature. Some of them are typical of the lichens world and the other of them are the mycorrizaeh harbours the large rain forest of the world. kinds of the nature, algae play a very wide role in the aquatic and the terrestrial kinds the food web, algae interact with the other organism with the verily of the way, theses association are collectively are called as the biotic associations like the patches of the sea weeds accumulates in the amphipods and they are the region for the growth of the addition to that other animal there. In addition to that hungry protozoa also eats on the algae for the various kinds of the nutrition, many algae lives on the symbiotic association of the prokaryotes, protists, fungi, animal and the viruses. Herbivores also eats on the Varity of the sea algae some of them are the ciliates and the flagellates, amoebae and the herbivores rotifers, crustacean’s are the main which are responsible for the many kinds of the biotic associations. Algae grows as the epibionts means as on the surface of them nay kinds of the organisms, some of them grows as the endobionts within the tissue of the other organism, algae also grows in the form of the mutualism associations and many more plant associations. Overall this review articles shows the some of the aspects of the algae associations and there various kinds of the association in the nature, some of them the association are very useful and some of them are detrimental to that kinds of the ecosystem, however severe pathogenic kinds of the algae association has never been seen in the nature. Algae are marvellous kinds of the organism in the nature and they are the gems of the plant world., they have the all variations the pigments and the all pigments are utilised for the formation of the many kinds of the foods. The variations in reproductive cycles are landmarks in the evolution of the divergence of the cladistic in the differ lines of the development of the organism in the earth.

Keywords: Algae, symbiotic associations, mutualism, food webs, association’s. pigments.
