The three main types of aquatic plants are (1) single-celled phytoplankton, (2) periphyton (algae growing attached to substrates) and (3) multicellular macrophytes.    From Wordnik.com.  [Aquatic plants] Reference

Typically, periphyton is made up of a diatoms, a variety of filamentous algae (including Spirogyra, Anabanea, Oscillatoria, Lyngbya, Pithophora spp), and cyanobacteria.    From Wordnik.com.  [Aquatic plants] Reference

Leopard frog tadpoles, on the other hand, require more time to develop into frogs and experienced slower growth as a result of the reduced amount of periphyton.    From Wordnik.com.  [Signs of the Times] Reference

With few zooplankton remaining, the algae, known as phytoplankton, grew rapidly and prevented sunlight from reaching the bottom-dwelling algae, or periphyton, which tadpoles eat.    From Wordnik.com.  [Signs of the Times] Reference

They found filamentous algae levels dramatically increased with higher phosphorus levels, while the thickness of periphyton, which are algae attached to rocks, and the amount of aquatic plans declined.    From Wordnik.com.  [Newswise: Latest News] Reference
