Efficacy of β–Glucan From Microalgae on the Intestinal Health and Growth of Nursery Pigs

Animal Science Journal, Volume 96, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of β‐glucan from microalgae (Algamune, Algal Scientific, Plymouth, MI, USA) on the intestinal health and growth of nursery pigs. One hundred sixty nursery pigs (6.0 ± 1.6 kg BW) were assigned to four treatments arranged in a 2 × 2 factor: antibiotic use and β‐glucan supplementation (0.02% Algamune).

Carrageenans from Red Seaweeds As Promoters of Growth and Elicitors of Defense Response in Plants [PDF]

, 2016
Plants incessantly encounter abiotic and biotic stresses that limit their growth and productivity. However, conversely, plant growth can also be induced by treatments with various abiotic and biotic elicitors.

Glycomolecules: from “sweet immunity” to “sweet biostimulation”?

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.

Space, the final frontier: The spatial component of phytoplankton–bacterial interactions

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, Page 331-346, September 2024.
This review highlights the importance of spatial proximity between marine bacteria and unicellular algae in symbiotic associations. Bacterial strategies to achieve this proximity include attachment (irreversible or reversible) and directed or random encounters.

Cell wall‐mediated maternal control of apical–basal patterning of the kelp Undaria pinnatifida

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 5, Page 1887-1898, September 2024.
Summary The role of maternal tissue in embryogenesis remains enigmatic in many complex organisms. Here, we investigate the contribution of maternal tissue to apical–basal patterning in the kelp embryo. Focussing on Undaria pinnatifida, we studied the effects of detachment from the maternal tissue using microsurgery, staining of cell wall modifications,

Natural Products as Source of Potential Dengue Antivirals [PDF]

, 2014
Dengue is a neglected disease responsible for 22,000 deaths each year in areas where it is endemic. To date, there is no clinically approved dengue vaccine or antiviral for human beings, even though there have been great efforts to accomplish these goals.
