Abstract
Algae are omnipresent members of the biosphere and settle most different habitats among which symbiotic associations belong to the most interesting ones. There algae get into intimate contact with other organisms and often have to stand peculiar physiological conditions. Those algae are also of interest regarding their taxonomic affiliation. Mainly algae which live in a stable hereditary relationship with their hosts represent taxonomically rather interesting forms which often are not present as free-living specimen (Reisser 1986, 1992a). Sometimes they also show conspicuous features of adaptation to the symbiotic milieu. This is most interesting in regard to mechanisms which may have been responsible for the evolution of autotrophic partners within heterotrophic hosts, eventually resulting in the formation of chloroplasts (Reisser 1992b).
