An Acetocarmine Squash Technique for the Fucales [PDF]

Nature, 1957
ACETOCARMINE techniques have only been used to a limited extent in cytological studies of the Phaeophyta, and only in examination of filamentous forms, or filamentous phases in the life-history of the larger forms. Investigations of the Fucales have relied on techniques of embedding and microtoming, followed by staining with Heidenhain's haematoxylin1 ...

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

Oikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

Diversity of Fucales (Ochrophyta, Phaeophyceae) along the Coasts of Lipari and Vulcano (Aeolian Archipelago), Tyrrhenian Sea (Central Mediterranean Sea)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
This study explored the biodiversity of Fucales along the islands of Lipari and Vulcano, almost ten years after the last studies on the phytobenthos of these islands.

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.

A Study on the Antimicrobial Activity of Algae Extract: The Fucales Order Case

Biology and Life Sciences Forum
Over the years, foodborne pathogens have caused countess health problems and massive financial losses. Therefore, an essential goal for the food industry is to prevent food contamination and the related foodborne illnesses as microbial contamination of ...

When protection backfires: Contrasting states of macroalgal forests and sea urchin populations in a Mediterranean MPA

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that NTZs can be counterproductive, as they may exacerbate the decline of marine forests by protecting sea urchins that are not effectively controlled by predators. We therefore call for a reassessment of management policies, including the targeted harvesting of herbivores where natural top‐down control is absent.

Diversified Chemical Structures and Bioactivities of the Chemical Constituents Found in the Brown Algae Family Sargassaceae

Marine Drugs
Sargassaceae, the most abundant family in Fucales, was recently formed through the merging of the two former families Sargassaceae and Cystoseiraceae. It is widely distributed in the world’s oceans, notably in tropical coastal regions, with the exception

Interspecific variation in total phenolic content in temperate brown algae

Journal of Biological Research, 2017
Marine algae synthesize secondary metabolites such as polyphenols that function as defense and protection mechanisms. Among brown algae, Fucales and Dictyotales (Phaeophyceae) contain the highest levels of phenolic compounds, mainly phlorotannins, that ...

Opportunistic Macroalgae as a Component in Assessment of Eutrophication

Diversity, 2022
For the last few decades, coastal eutrophication with the associated mass development of opportunistic macroalgae has increased on a global scale. Since the end of the 2000’s, the number of studies of macroalgal blooms also increased many times.
