Removal of Cypermethrin from Water by Using Fucus Spiralis Marine Alga. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019
Alpha-cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that was extensively used for insect control, since the early 1980s. However, it is known that its presence in the environment has toxic effects on humans and aquatic life forms. For this reason, it is commendable for it to be removed completely from the contaminated environment.

Antioxidant and Cytoprotective Activities of Fucus spiralis Seaweed on a Human Cell in Vitro Model. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2017
Antioxidants play an important role as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) chelating agents and, therefore, the screening for potent antioxidants from natural sources as potential protective agents is of great relevance. The main aim of this study was to obtain antioxidant-enriched fractions from the common seaweed Fucus spiralis and evaluate their activity ...

Arrested development in Fucus spiralis (Phaeophyceae) germlings exposed to copper [PDF]

European Journal of Phycology, 1999
Exposure of Fucus spiralis germlings to precise copper concentrations (0 to 844 nM Cu2+) in chemically defined medium demonstrated a relationship between ultrastructural changes and growth retardation with increasing copper concentration. Electron-translucent vesicles, present in ova, which normally disappear after fertilization, accumulated in ...

Analysis of sexual phenotype and prezygotic fertility in natural populations ofFucus spiralis, F. vesiculosus(Fucaceae, Phaeophyceae) and their putative hybrids [PDF]

, 2005
In the genus Fucus, the character dioecy/hermaphroditism has undergone multiple state changes and hybridization is possible between taxa with contrasting mating systems, e.g. between the dioecious Fucus vesiculosus and the hermaphrodite F. spiralis.
