Multiple and interrelated factors influence diversity of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) associated bacterial communities along the Strait of Magellan [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera forms abundant underwater forests that hosts diverse and dynamic bacterial communities. In the sub-Antarctic Strait of Magellan, while spatial variability is known to influence these associations, the combined effects ...

Macrocystis pyrifera seaweed extracts combined with Pseudomonas koreensis enhance growth and stomatal regulation in the sweet cherry rootstock ‘Colt’ under contrasting water conditions [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
The Colt rootstock (Prunus avium × Prunus pseudocerasus) is widely used in Chilean cherry orchards due to its high compatibility and vigor; however, its low drought tolerance limits its performance in water-scarce environments.

Biogas production from Macrocystis pyrifera biomass in seawater system [PDF]

Bioresource Technology, 2015
Marine sediments from littoral and sublittoral location were evaluated as inocula for methane production from anaerobic fermentation of Macrocystis pyrifera in seawater system. Littoral sediment showed the higher methanogenetic activity from acetate and resulted in a higher biomethane yield of 217.1±2.4mL/g-VS, which was comparable with that reported ...

The Kelp Macrocystis Pyrifera as Nutritional Supplement for Goats

Revista Científica, 2009
The present study was aimed to evaluate Macrocystis pyrifera (MP) meal as a nutritional supplement for goats. There is an increasing interest to look at nutritional alternatives to guarantee a continuous supply of good quality forage for goats, in many

Structure of giant kelp Photosystem I-FCP uncovers drivers of antenna evolution across the red lineage [PDF]

Nature Communications
Brown algae and other red-algae-derived organisms are major contributors to global CO2 fixation via photosynthesis. To understand the photosynthetic function of brown algae, we obtained the structure of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera photosystem I (PSI)

Heat stress induces organelle alterations in Macrocystis pyrifera gametophytes. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Kelp, brown macroalgae in the order Laminariales, provide ecosystem services vital to ocean biodiversity. However, kelp forests worldwide are declining due to abiotic stressors such as ocean warming. In this study, we present results from high‐resolution confocal microscopy and in vivo imaging system imaging using protocols developed to ...

Effects of five southern California macroalgal diets on consumption, growth, and gonad weight, in the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Consumer growth and reproductive capacity are direct functions of diet. Strongylocentrotid sea urchins, the dominant herbivores in California kelp forests, strongly prefer giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera), but are highly catholic in their ability to ...

Giant bladder kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) and maize (Zea mays) meals as nucleation sites for biofloc formation

Aquaculture Reports, 2020
The aim of this study was to evaluate Macrocystis pyrifera and Zea mays meals as nucleation sites in biofloc formation. Bioflocs were studied for a period of 12 weeks, by measuring volume, dry weight, organic matter, and ash weight. These were induced by

Egg masses of the Patagonian squid Doryteuthis (Amerigo) gahi attached to giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in the sub-Antarctic ecoregion [PDF]

Polar Research, 2014
Egg masses of the Patagonian squid Doryteuthis (Amerigo) gahi attached to giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in the Magellanic channels of the sub-Antarctic ecoregion in southern South America is documented for the first time. Of seven egg masses observed
