Everything about Desmid totally explained
Desmids are an
order (
Desmidiales) of
green algae, comprising around 40
genera and 5,000 to 6,000
species, found mostly but not exclusively in
fresh water. Most are
unicellular, and are divided into two
compartments separated by a narrow
bridge or
isthmus. Desmids assume a variety of highly
symmetrical and generally attractive shapes, which provide the basis for their classification. Each compartment has one
chloroplast, and no
flagella.
Sexual reproduction occurs through a process of
conjugation, also found among the
Zygnematales. These two groups are closely related, and may be united as the division
Gamophyta. The desmids are sometimes treated as members of the Zygnematales, but more often given the separate order Desmidiales.
