MORPHOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME STRAINS OF UNICELLULAR ALGAE OF THE GENUS PROTOTHECA SAMPLED FROM MASTITIC COW MILK

Morphological and Cultural Characterization of some Strains of Unicellular Algae of the Genus Prototheca Sampled from Mastitic Cow Milk

Prototheca is a unicellular, achlorophillous, ubiquitary and saprophytic alga spread in the surrounding environment mostly in vastly damp locations in the presence of the organic matters.This is deemed to be pathogenic to a low degree, taking immediate advantage of the environment and triggering diseases at a time when the immunological capability
