perifyton


Explanation:
perifyton, (af peri- og gr. phyton 'plante'), små vandplanter og alger, som sidder på et fast underlag, fx mudderbund, sten, pæle eller større vandplanter, i søer, vandløb og havet. Det er mest mikroskopiske, encellede eller kolonidannende kiselalger og blågrønalger

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Lone Sørensen: Mener ikke "perifyton" er en dækkende oversættelse af "attached algae". Da det if. ovennævnte definition omfatter andet end alger samt mest er mikroskopiske organismer. Fastsiddende alger er for en stor del flercellede, egentlige planter, fx. brunalger

disagree  Suzanne Blangsted (X): The question does not ask for "perifyton"
