Bio-butanol Production by Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 Using Selected Species of Brown and Red Macroalgae [PDF]
Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2016 Macroalgae are a promising option because they can be propagated easily along the seaside thus eliminating the need for land and nutrient resources. Hence, different macroalgae were assessed for their potential in butanol fermentation.

Antimicrobial activity of Iberian macroalgae
Scientia Marina, 2007 The antibacterial and antifungal activity of 82 marine macroalgae (18 Chlorophyceae, 25 Phaeophyceae and 39 Rhodophyceae) was studied to evaluate their potential for being used as natural preservatives in the cosmetic industry. The bioactivity was analysed from crude extracts of fresh and lyophilised samples against three Gram-positive bacteria ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.
