Mycology, classification and characteristics of fungi: basidiomycetes, ascomycetes, phycomycetes, deuteromycetes, lichens and mycorrhizae. Morphology, life cycle, ecological and economic importance. Algology - classification of algae. Criteria for classification: photosynthetic pigments, food reserves, nature of cell wall components, the types of flagella, cytology. Morphology and life cycle - unicellular organisation, protococcoidal, flagellate unicells; colonial organisation,; flagellate colonies, non-flagellate coenobia, filamentous organisation; siphonaceous and, parenchymatous organisation. Vegetative, asexual, sexual reproduction. Life-cycles. Cyanobacteria, Dinophyta - cell structure, vegetative structure, cell division, ecological importance. Indicators of water quality. Bacillariophyta, Euglenophyta - cell structure, cell division, ecological importance. Chlorophyta, Charophyta - vegetative structure, reproduction and life cycle.
