Algae taxonomy

The classification of red algae is now being reinvestigated according to the data of molecular genetics.745 750 751 Without any doubt, information on the polysaccharide structures can also be used as valuable supplementary material for modem taxonomy of the Rhodophyta.

The principle of PICT that has been noted in Section 7.3.1.2 for algae has been applied to bacteria in a terrestrial system (Rutgers et al. 1998). Determination of the community structure based on the taxonomy of the components is based on their nutritional demands. Metabolic activity was assessed using 95 substrates, which do not have any structural relation either to the organic components of the soil or to the toxicant that is being examined.

The origin of the bryophytes and the evolutionary relationships among the Hepaticae, the Musci and Anthocerotae have not been clarified. Studies of the evolution and differentiation of the bryophytes from the view point of palaeontology is difficult because of the lack of fossils. Thus chemical investigation of the metabolites of bryophytes and comparison of their chemical constituents with those of algae and pteridophytes may yield important information that will provide insight into the taxonomy of the bryophytes and evolutionary relationships between algae and lower terrestrial plants.
