| algae | <botany> A nontaxonomic term used to group several phyla of the lower plants, including the Rhodophyta (red algae), Chlorophyta (green algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae) and Chrysophyta (diatoms). Many algae are unicellular or consist of simple undifferentiated colonies, but red and brown algae are complex multicellular organisms, familiar to most people as seaweeds. Blue green algae are a totally separate group of prokaryotes, more correctly known as Cyanophyta or Cyanobacteria. (18 Nov 1997) |

| algae and fungi | Algae represent a group of spore-propagating plants, unicellular or undifferentiated into root, stem, and leaf. They include seaweed and many unicellular fresh water plants, most of which contain chlorophyll. They account for about 90% of the earth's photosynthetic activity. Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that live as saprobes or parasites and include mushrooms, yeasts, smuts, molds, etc. They lack chlorophyll. (12 Dec 1998) |
| algae, green | Algae of the division chlorophyta, in which the green pigment of chlorophyll is not masked by other pigments. Classes include charophyceae, bryopsidophyceae, conjugatophyceae, oedogoniophyceae, chlorophyceae, and prasinophyceae. Common genera are acetabularia, chlamydomonas, chlorella, nitella, prototheca, scenedesmus, spirogyra, and volvox. (12 Dec 1998) |
| algae, red | Algae of the division rhodophyta, in which the pigment is predominantly red; common genera are gelidium, gracilaria, and polysiphonia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blue-green algae | The former name for the blue-green bacteria, now classified as Cyanobacteria. A group of prokaryotes. Synonym: Cyanobacteria. (05 May 2002) |
| Characean algae | <organism> Class of filamentous green algae exemplified by the genus Chara, in which the mitotic spindle is not surrounded by a nuclear envelope. Probably the closest relatives, among the algae, to higher plants. The giant internodal cells (up to 5cm long) exhibit dramatic cyclosis and have been much used for studies on ion transport and cytoplasmic streaming. (21 May 1997) |
| Green algae | <botany> Division of algae containing photosynthetic pigments similar to those in higher plants and having a green colour. Includes unicellular forms, filaments and leaf like thalluses (e.g. Ulva). Some members form coenobia and the Characean algae have branched filaments. (18 Nov 1997) |
| symbiotic algae | <plant biology> Algae (often Chlorella spp) that live intracellularly in animal cells (e.g. Endoderm of Hydra viridis). The relationship is complex, because lysosomes do not fuse with the vacuoles containing the algae and the growth rates of both cells are regulated to maintain the symbiosis. There is considerable strain specificity. The term is imprecise, since there are many other symbiotic algae (as in lichens) where the relationship is different. (19 Jan 1998) |
| Bismarck brown R | A diazo dye similar to Bismarck brown Y. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bismarck brown Y | A diazo dye used for staining mucin and cartilage in histologic sections, in the Papanicolaou technique for vaginal smears, and as one of Kasten's Schiff-type reagents in the PAS and Feulgen stains. Synonym: vesuvin. Origin: Ger. Bismarckbraun, after Otto von Bismarck, Ger. Chancellor (05 Mar 2000) |
| Blair-Brown graft | A split-thickness graft of intermediate thickness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brown | Of a dark colour, of various shades between black and red or yellow. "Cheeks brown as the oak leaves." (Longfellow) Brown Bess, the old regulation flintlock smoothbore musket, with bronzed barrel, formerly used in the British army. Brown bread Dark coloured bread; especially. A kind made of unbolted wheat flour, sometimes called in the United States Graham bread. "He would mouth with a beggar though she smelt brown bread and garlic." . Dark coloured bread made of rye meal and Indian meal, or of wheat and rye or Indian; rye and Indian bread. Brown coal, wood coal. See Lignite. Brown hematite or Brown iron ore, a ferruginous variety of dolomite, in part identical with ankerite. Brown stone. See Brownstone. Brown stout, a strong kind of proter or malt liquor. Brown study, a state of mental abstraction or serious reverie. Origin: OE. Brun, broun, AS. Brn; akin to D. Bruin, OHG. Brn, Icel. Brnn, Sw. Brun, Dan. Bruun, G. Braun, Lith. Brunas, Skr. Babhru. 93. Cf. Bruin, Beaver, Burnish, Brunette. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| brown adipose tissue | A thermogenic type of adipose tissue containing a dark pigment, and arising during embryonic life in certain specific areas in many mammals, including man. It is prominent in the newborn of all species in which it occurs and remains a distinct and conspicuous tissue in the adults of certain species, especially those that hibernate. It is also called brown adipose tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Brown-Adson forceps | An Adson forceps with about 16 delicate teeth on each tip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brown atrophy | Atrophy of the heart wall, especially in the elderly, in which the muscle is dark reddish brown and reduced in volume; the muscle fibres become pigmented especially about the nuclei, by lipochrome granules. (05 Mar 2000) |
