''Spirogyra'' (common names include water silk, mermaid's tresses, and blanket weed) is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae of the order Zygnematales, named for the helical or spiral arrangement of the chloroplasts that is characteristic of the genus. ''Spirogyra'' species, of which there are more than 500, are commonly found in freshwater habitats. ''Spirogyra'' measures approximately 10 to 150 micrometres in width (though not usually more than 60) and may grow to several centimetres in length. Distribution ''Spirogyra'' can be been found on every continent on Earth, including Antarctica. It is freshwater algae, found rivers, ponds, and other such bodies of water. Taxonomy The genus Spirogyra was named by German naturalist Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link in 1820. The lectotype, ''Spirogyra'' ''porticalis'' was designated in 1952 by Paul C. Silvia. Reproduction ''Spirogyra'' can reproduce both sexually and asexually. In vegetative reproduction, fragmentation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
