Scenedesmus

Scenedesmus is a type of green freshwater algae composed of small, single-celled organisms that often form colonies. These algae play a key role in aquatic ecosystems by producing oxygen through photosynthesis and serving as a food source for aquatic creatures. They can exist in various shapes and arrangements, such as single cells or colonies of multiple cells, and are studied for their potential in biofuel production and water purification. Due to their resilience and rapid growth, Scenedesmus is also used in scientific research related to environmental monitoring and renewable energy.
