	Spirogyra
		Spirogyra owes its name to a chloroplast (the green part of the cell) that is wound into a spiral, a unique property of this genus which makes it easily to recognise.
		If we look at a filament of Spirogyra with the microscope, the first thing that attracts attention is the chloroplast, a narrow, banded spiral with serrated edges.
		Spirogyra can also exhibit, apart from the ladder like conjugation, another form of conjugation.

	Freshwater Algae: Filamentous: Page 1. Introductory text with photomicrographs.
		Spirogyra is a filamentous green alga which is common in freshwater habitats.
		In common with other members of its phylum (Gamophyta) Spirogyra lacks a motile variant at all stages of its life history; ie, no motile gametes (ova or sperm), no zoospores etc. Sexual reproduction is by a process called conjugation -- another of the famously remarkable sights available to the microscopist.
		It looks like the stage in conjugation of Spirogyra in which the contraction of the cell contents to a ball is not quite complete, and the spiral nature of the chloroplast is still discernable.

	Olympus MIC-D: Brightfield Gallery - Filamentous Algae (Spirogyra)
		Owing its generic name, Spirogyra, to the unique manner in which members of this genus twist their green chloroplasts into spirals, this key characteristic makes it easy to recognize species in this cosmopolitan genus of the phylum Gamophyta (conjugating green algae) in the division Chlorophyta.
		Often an indicator of "nutrient enrichment" (actually, over-fertilization because of excess nitrate and phosphate pollution in contaminated stormwater runoff), freshwater ponds, ditches, vernal pools, and springs are often choked with tangles of this multicellular alga.
		The zygospore is adapted to surviving harsh conditions, with a thick cell wall, and emerges as a new algal filament once the environment is more favorable, perhaps after overwintering in the sediments.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Phase Contrast and DIC Comparison Image Gallery - Spirogyra Algae
		Sometimes alternatively known as water-silk, mermaid's tresses, or pond scum, a large presence of the unbranched algae often indicates the nutrient enrichment of freshwater bodies.
		Spirogyra usually reproduce via vegetative means, individual filaments fragmenting to form new algal strands.
		Adjacent filaments are capable of extending conjugation tubes toward each other in order to exchange genetic material and produce a zygospore, which is protected by a thick cellular wall that enables it to survive in sediment until more favorable conditions emerge.

		Spirogyra is without doubt the best known of all the Green algae.
		SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Sexual reproduction in Spirogyra is isogamous via a process first described as conjugation.
		There are a couple of different patterns of conjugation, one involving adjacent cells in a singe filament and the other involving conjugation between cells in two filaments.

		The filamentous green algae Spirogyra is found in a wide range of habitats, including small stagnant water bodies, ditches as well as the littorals of lakes and streams.
		This doesn´t hold true for the species dispersion because of complications in species determination, for which sexual reproduction stages including ripe hypnozygotes are essential.
		The proposed work is designed as a contribution on the autecology and species delineation of Spirogyra including the compilation of a database containing morphological characteristics and ITS sequences.

		ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SPIROGYRA FANS : 'Spirogyra' - British late 60's and early 70's progressive psychedelic folk cult band.- Martin Cockerham ('Spirogyra' Founder Member) released his Songbank on cdr for some interested, but now will work on more proper releases : “Since 2002 I have been working on a new 'Spirogyra' album with Mark Francis.
		This line-up is actually 'The Original Spirogyra' because the band was originally formed by myself and Mark in Bolton, Lancashire, in the 'Summer of Love' - 1967.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Phase Contrast Image Gallery - Spirogyra Filamentous Algae
		While appearing to the naked eye as mere pond scum, under the microscope Spirogyra is delicately beautiful.
		In the full sun of the day, Spirogyra produce a relatively large volume of oxygen, which becomes trapped as tiny bubbles between the tangling strands and causes the algae to rise.
		However, exceptionally large amounts of Spirogyra can indicate over-fertilization of farmlands since excess phosphates and nitrates may contaminate storm water runoff, which, in turn, seep into surrounding waters.

		Spirogyra is mainly a non-commercial electronic music project.
		Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis etc. but also by some newer styles like Techno, Trance, Drum 'n' Bass etc. Spirogyra is producing music, which tries to combine the old with the new world of electronic music.
		For this purpose Spirogyra is using all kind of electronic musical instruments available today like digital, analog and virtual analog synthesizers, samplers, drumboxes, PC-based digital audio recording, mixing and sequenceing etc.

	DNA Isolation and RAPD Analysis of Cladophora, Spirogyra, Bryopsis, with focus on Derbesia
		However, attempts at attaining a genomic fingerprint utilizing the RAPD technique for the green alga Derbesia in comparison to those of Cladophora, Spirogyra, and Bryopsis were unsuccessful, possibly due to non-optimal RAPD-PCR conditions and erroneous reactant concentrations.
		Even with a high purity sample of algae DNA (Bryopsis, ratio 1.75), no bands were detected in any of the trials ran, which is contrary to the expectations.
		It is not surprising that the lesser pure DNA samples, Derbesia (1.65), Cladophora (1.68) and Spirogyra (1.69), generated no positive results either.
