Mychonastes Anomalus
''Mychonastes'' is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Chlorophyceae. It is the sole genus of the family Mychonastaceae. Species of ''Mychonastes'' are found in plankton of freshwater or brackish waters, or found in soil. It is a very common genus, and is often dominant. Description ''Mychonastes'' consists of solitary cells of groups of a few cells (rarely more than four). Cells are spherical or slightly ovate, uninucleate (with one nucleus) and a single parietal chloroplast without any pyrenoids. The cell wall is covered in an irregular network of ridges, only visible in (scanning electron microscopy). Cells are sometimes connected together by irregular, mucilaginous strands. These mucilaginous strands are formed from the mother cell wall after autospore release. ''Mychonastes'' reproduces asexually via autospores. Usually 2 or 4 (sometimes up to 64) are produced per cell. They are released through a tear in the cell wall. Species are differentiated from each other by ...

Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
