Microbes Microbes that are capable of
photosynthesis Found in 2 groups Protista
Algae Monera - Cyanobacteria Organisms will be
studied using stained slides and wet
mounts. Specific organisms to be studied in the
lab Algae Spirogyra Hydrodictyon Cyanobact

slide) Characteristic features colonial form
with individual cells arranged in benzene ring
patterns)
