Algae do not fix nitrogen.
Cyanobacteria (which are also known as blue green algae) can fix nitrogen because they have specialized cell for it which is called heterocyst.
Examples of cyanobacteria which can fix nitrogen are Noctoc, Anabeana etc.

It's important to mention here that cyanobacteria are not included in algae.
Cyanobacteria are included in kingdom Monera.
