Answer:

Phycobiont

Explanation:

Algae are photosynthetic organisms that are also able to ingest food from their surroundings in the absence of light and, thus, can be grown heterotrophically. In nature, they form the chief aquatic plant life, both in the sea and in fresh water. Blue-green algae (e.g., Anabena, Nostoc, Spirulina) contain chlorophyll, a characteristic of plants, in contrast to green and purple algae (Rhodospirillaceae, Chromatiaceae, Chlorobiaceae), the chlorophyll pigments of which differ in type and amount from the former. A wide variety of lipids produced by algae include neutral (storage) lipids, such as carotenoids (V), hydrocarbons, wax esters (III), and quinones (XXI), and polar (structural) lipids, such as galactolipids, lipopolysaccharide, sulfo- and phospholipids. The main fatty acids in storage lipids are saturated fatty acids (e.g., palmitic acid 16:0) and unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., palmitoleic acid 16:1, oleic acid 18:1), whereas those in structural lipids are polyunsaturated fatty acids, that is, ‘eukaryotic-like’ substituents of acylglycerols. Among these, there are biologically important acids with 20 and 22 carbon atoms, that is, arachidonic acid (ARA), EPA, and DHA associated either with triacylglycerols and phospholipids in heterotrophic algae (Pythium, Cryptecodinium, Nitzchia, Schizochytrium, and Ulkenia spp.) or with galactolipids in phototrophic algae (Porphyridium and Phaedactylum spp.). The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids can be up to 30 to 60% of the total fatty acids, however, with the lipid content of cell not exceeding 15%. Some commercial interest has also been focused on algal carotenoids, particularly β-carotene produced by Dunaliella salina, in which it accumulates up to 10% of the biomass.
