We almost never talked about them, not even in microbiology class.
I just know they present both plant and animal features since we come from choanoflagellates, and they are fundamental in ecotoxicology since some of these bastards are toxic, and annually kill much of the ocean fauna. They cause mass killing of fish if their concentration in the water is too high, and if we don't run analysis on the fishes we catch we can get a bunch of diseases like ciguatera poisoning.
These fuckers produce many biotoxins for some reason.
