Protists
Protists are single or multi-celled organisms, such as protozoa, algae, and molds, that cannot be readily classified as fungi, plants or animals. During BioBlitz Santa Barbara many kinds of true algae, mostly tiny diatoms, and several species of bacteria called blue-green algae, were found living in Mission Creek.
