Metabolites with Antioxidant Activity from Marine Macroalgae

Antioxidants, 2021
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) attack biological molecules, such as lipids, proteins, enzymes, DNA, and RNA, causing cellular and tissue damage. Hence, the disturbance of cellular antioxidant homeostasis can lead to oxidative stress and the onset of a ...

Microphytobenthos and benthic macroalgae determine sediment organic matter composition in shallow photic sediments [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Microphytobenthos and benthic macroalgae play an important role in system metabolism within shallow coastal bays. However, their independent and interactive influences on sediment organic matter (SOM) are not well understood.

Seasonal Variation of the Proximate Composition, Mineral Content, Fatty Acid Profiles and Other Phytochemical Constituents of Selected Brown Macroalgae

Marine Drugs, 2021
The main objective was to determine the chemical, phytochemical, fatty acid and mineral profiles of three commercially relevant brown macroalgae (Laminaria digitata, Laminaria hyperborea and Ascophyllum nodosum) collected each season for two years off ...

Macroalgae as a Source of Valuable Antimicrobial Compounds: Extraction and Applications

Antibiotics, 2020
In the last few decades, attention on new natural antimicrobial compounds has arisen due to a change in consumer preferences and the increase in the number of resistant microorganisms. Macroalgae play a special role in the pursuit of new active molecules

Photosynthesis rates of seagrass and macroalgae measured in situ by pulse-amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Photosynthesis, a fundamental process, sustains coastal vegetated ecosystem services. Pulse-Amplitude Modulated fluorometry was a non-invasive method used to assess the photosynthetic efficiency of seagrass and macroalgae in dynamic coastal environments.

Influence of Total Suspended Solids on the Growth of the Sea Lettuce Ulva lactuca Integrated with the Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in a Biofloc System

Fishes, 2023
A biofloc system is rich in nutrients, which favors the cultivation of macroalgae, but the influence of the system on the performance of macroalgae is unknown.

Utilization of Macroalgae for the Production of Bioactive Compounds and Bioprocesses Using Microbial Biotechnology

Microorganisms, 2023
To achieve sustainable development, alternative resources should replace conventional resources such as fossil fuels. In marine ecosystems, many macroalgae grow faster than terrestrial plants.

Introduced macroalgae — A growing concern [PDF]

Journal of Applied Phycology, 2006
Introductions of non-indigenous species to new ecosystems are one of the major threats to biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services. Globally, species introductions may lead to biotic homogenisation, in synergy with other anthropogenic disturbances such as climate change and coastal pollution. Successful marine introductions depend on (1) presence
