Revisiting the life cycle of Margalefidinium polykrikoides Group III

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1367-1382, August 2026.
Abstract Dinoflagellates produce cysts as a strategy to withstand environmental stressors, with nutrient depletion generally considered a key trigger for cyst production. Resting cysts are thick‐walled, typically composed of one to several layers, and characterized by a prolonged dormancy period.

A low-molecular-weight galactofucan from the seaweed, Spatoglossum schröederi, binds fibronectin and inhibits capillary-like tube formation in vitro

, 2018
A low-molecular-weight (LMW) heterofucan (designated fucan B) was obtained from the brown seaweed, Spatoglossum schröederi, and its activity as an inhibitor of capillary-like tube formation by endothelial cells (ECs) was analyzed.
