Diatoms are the most numerous of all algae. They are found in oceans, lakes, rivers, and soil, and play a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystems by producing a significant amount of oxygen and serving as a food source for many aquatic organisms.
Yellow algae is as the description states yellowish in color. You can determine if you can see a yellow tint on the white or light surface of the plaster or vinyl. You can further determine algae by just brushing the yellow spots -- if it brushes off then it is most likely yellow algae. Mustard algae is similar but will be harder to brush off. The algae usually breeds on the shady side of the pool first then progresses to the rest of the pool depending on how long the pool has been neglected. K
Yellow algae in aquariums is typically caused by excess nutrients in the water, such as nitrates and phosphates. These nutrients can be introduced through overfeeding, decaying organic matter, or poor water quality. Ensuring proper maintenance, water changes, and nutrient levels can help prevent yellow algae growth.
diffeent colours such as green, blue green, yellow and red algae
A yellow-green alga is an alga of the class Xanthophyceae, which contain both yellow pigments and chlorophyll.

Because algae is so numerous in the ocean
Yellow algae in aquariums is typically caused by excess nutrients in the water, such as nitrates and phosphates. These nutrients can be introduced through overfeeding, decaying organic matter, or poor water quality. Ensuring proper maintenance, water changes, and nutrient levels can help prevent yellow algae growth.
Test your water for phosphates. Leaves contain it and phosphates are a growth nutrient for algae. Always use a sodium bromide based algaecide when dealing with yellow algae. (Yellow/brown/mustard algae is chlorine resistant.)
Beacause chlorine is not being put in which is making it turn yellow :)
diffeent colours such as green, blue green, yellow and red algae
Algae is a virus that lives in the sea, and it looks brown, green, yellow-green, or red.
Yes it is, though some species of algae can even be red, brown, yellow, or other colors.

Hi,There are many classification of algae but the one given by F.F. Fritsch (1935) is considered to be the most accepted. He divided algae into 11 classes that can be list in the following manner.Class 1. Chlorophyceae Green algae- e.g., Chlamydomnas, Spirogyra.Class 2. Xanthophyceae - Green-yellow algae; e.g., Vaucheria.Class 3. Chrysophyceae - Yellow-green algae; e.g., Chrysophaera.Class 4. Bacillariophyceae or Diatoms -Yellow or golden brown algae; e.g., Pinularia.Class 5. Cryptophyceae -Red or brown in colour; e.g., Cryptomonas.Class 6. Dinopnyceae - Dark yellow or brown in colour; e.g., Peridinium.Class 7. Chloromonadineae -Bright green in colour; e.g., Vacuolaria.Class 8. Euglenidae - Belonging to the euglena like animals. Euglena.Class 9. Phaeophyceae - Yellow brown in colour; e.g., Sargassum,Class 10. Rhodophyceae - Red algae; e.g., Polysiphonia.Class 11. Myxophyceae -Blue-green in colour; e.g., Nostoc.Hope this answer will help yu,Cheers!!
