Course content
Part A: Phylogeny and Systematics of Algae 1. Introduction to biology and evolution of cyanobacteria and algae - thallus morphology, fotosynthetic pigments, storage materials, ultrastructure, reproduction, the origin of membrane systems, endosymbiotic hypothesis, the main fylogenetic groups 2. Algal systematics - the main characteristics and representatives of Cyanobacteria, Rhodophyta, Cryptophyta, Dinophyta, Heterokonthophyta + Haptophyta (Chrysophyceae, Synurophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Phaeophyceae, Haptophyceae, Eustigmatophyceae, Raphidophyceae, Xanthophyceae), Chlorarachniophyta, Euglenophyta, Chlorophyta and Charophyta (Prasinophyceae, Chlamydophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Ulvophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, Oedogoniophyceae, Bryopsidophyceae, Klebsormidiophyceae, Zygnematophyceae, Charophyceae). Part B: Phylogeny and Systematics of Fungi 1. Recent systematic classification of fungi and their evolution relationships. 2. The detailed characteristic of taxonomical groups of fungi (anatomy, morphology, multiplication, life strategies), the most important representatives. 3. Phyllum Protozoa (characteristics, division: Acrasiomycota, Myxomycota, Plasmodiophoromycota). 4. Phyllum Chromista (characteristics, division: Labyrinthulomycota, Oomycota, Hyphochytriomycota). 5. Phyllum Fungi (characteristics, division: Chytridiomycota, Microsporidiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Deuteromycota, Basidiomycota). 6. Lichenes

Learning outcomes
The course focuses on the morphological variability and the ecology of cyanobacteria, algae and fungi.
Student should be able to (after attending the course): - demonstrate sufficient knowledge of algal and fungal morphological terminology; - demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles of nomenclature and classification; - demonstrate knowledge of the main characteristics (thalus morfology, pigments, storrage material, reproduction, specific characteristics) on the group level of Cyanobacteria, Algae and Fungi - Recognize algae on the group level and Fungi on the genera level
