In cyanobacteria and the eukaryotic photosynthetic cells of algae and higher plants, HgA is HgO, as implied earlier, and 2 A is O,. The accumulation of O, to constitute 20% of the earth s atmosphere is the direct result of eons of global oxygenic photosynthesis. 

Eukaryotic algae (Chlorophyceae) of the genera Chforella and Scenedesmus have been used for SCP production. Several types of cultivation systems have been considered, depending on the substrate used and whether the SCP is intended for use as food or feed. 

The eukaryotes these include animals, plants, fungi and protozoa, the DNA of which is enclosed in a membrane-enclosed organelle (the cell nucleus). They have a cytoskeleton (a fine membrane-like network in the interior of the cell, which provides stability) and contain mitochondria. Higher plants, as well as algae, are equipped with chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

Some of these species can carry out photosynthesis, but they may do so by engulfing symbiotic algae. It has been suggested that Grypania found in iron sediments could be the earliest eukaryotes. 

Eukaryote Cell or organism with membrane-bound, structurally discrete nucleus and other well-developed subcellular compartments. Eukaryotes include all organisms except viruses, bacteria, and blue-green algae (see also prokaryote).

Evidence has accumulated that inhibition of QS is a strategy commonly adopted by eukaryotic organisms to combat potentially pathogenic bacteria. The production of AHL antagonists has been demonstrated for the marine red alga Delisea pulchra [68], higher plants [85] as well as the animal Flustra foliacea [ 127]. Compounds with QS-inhibiting activity have been obtained from D. pulchra and F. foliacea (Fig. 5) while the structures of the plant-derived substances have yet to be elucidated. 

Protists Eukaryotic microorganisms that are neither animal, fungi, plant, or archaean. Unicellular forms include the amoeboid protozoans and algae, such as the foraminferans and radiolarians, and dinoflagellates and diatoms, respectively. Some algae are either multicellular or colonial, such as the red algae and freshwater Volvox, respectively. 

Eukaryotic algae develop first but are quickly succeeded by non-colonial, het-erocystous cyanobacteria, shown by the increase in chlorophyll a in the figure. The bloom of cyanobacteria produces a bloom of ostracods and molluscs, which graze on the cyanobacteria. The resulting coUapse of the cyanobacteria population is followed by collapses of the ostracods and moUuscs.
