Phylum Thallophyta

The Phylum Thallophyta, Class Level Gallery Index Go Down Go Up
With all the so-called wisdom among these worldly wise men, have they developed a totally new way of dividing organisms into classifications? No, actually there are many living organisms that are being discovered and/or still to be discovered. Too, many of these newly discovered organisms are proving to be even more complicated to fit into established divisions than those organisms that have already been classified. When the wise men of this world come upon such hard to categorize organisms, they pull the evolutions card out of their pocket and say that such organisms are evolutionary transitional organisms.
Therefore, to keep my photo galley as simple as possible, I will go back to the basics that I learned when I was in high school and college. During that time, in the mid-1960s, the teaching of evolution was not part of the academic curriculum, but instead, was only a misconception that was newly being developed by those who called themselves the wise men of the world.
Nevertheless, none of the information that I will be providing herein will be to associate with, nor will be promoting the concept and/or teaching of evolution, but instead will be based on the true understanding found in the Bible.
Phylum Thallophyta Information
The word Thallophyta comes from the Greek words thallo meaning simple and phtya meaning plant. Thus this is a phylum of plants which are plants life showing a simple plant body and which includes plants that are unicellular up to and including the larger algae, fungi, and lichens.
Phylum Thallophyta Characteristics

The Phylum Thallophyta Taxonomy Go Down Go Up
Taxonomy:
Kingdom: Plantea
Phylum: Thallophyta
This phylum is a life division where upon unrelated organisms are placed. Most are microscopic, but many placed in this phylum form larger slime molds visible to the naked eye.
Most slime molds are terrestrial and free-living, typically in damp shady habitats such as in or on the surface of rotting wood. There are a few slime molds which are awuatic or semi-aquatic. A few, the phytomyxea are parasitic, living inside their hosts. Most all slime molds contribute to the decomposition of dead vegetation.
Range and Taxon
Geographically, slime molds have a cosmopolitan distribution, that is a range and taxon that extends across most or all of the surface of the Earth, but in appropriate habitats.
A small number of species occur in regions as dry as the Atacama Desert on the Pacific Coast of South America and as cold as the Arctic; these organisms are abundant in the tropics, especially in rain forests.

Class: Myxothallophyta (slime molds)
over 1000 species
Information:
The name is from Greek words, myxo meaning slime, thallo meaning simple and phyta meaning plant.
Indicates a plant group with a simple undifferentiated body.
Examples include: Ulothrix, Spirogyra, Cladophora, Fucus, Volvox Ulva and Chara.
