That is too funny.... and somewhat sad. “In my imagination, conferences in the past involved a passionate speaker (usually wearing a hat) who was disclosing his/her latest discoveries, vehemently speaking or writing on a blackboard (sometimes performing live experiments) while the audience was listening in a profound, respectful silence.”

Actually, it generates oxygen just like plants by fixing carbon dioxide. When algae dies and decomposes, the bacteria required for this process depletes the oxygen supply. Check out NOAA's website for conformation of the above information and a video representation. Regarding the large zones depleted by oxygen, algae does not breath.

While the yellow color (carotene) is already present in the leaves, but the anthocyanin is just synthesized. Why some plants use energy in synthesis for nicely colored dying leaves was investigated at the University of Haifa. A summary about that is here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090813142150.htm Quite interesting in this context are the regional differences i.e. between Europe and America.
