Ecological biomechanics of damage to macroalgae

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Macroalgae provide food and habitat to a diversity of organisms in marine systems, so structural damage and breakage of thallus tissue can have important ecological consequences for the composition and dynamics of marine communities.

Cell-Autonomous and Non-Cell-Autonomous Mechanisms Concomitantly Regulate the Early Developmental Pattern in the Kelp Saccharina latissima Embryo

Plants
Brown algae are multicellular organisms that have evolved independently from plants and animals. Knowledge of the mechanisms involved in their embryogenesis is available only for the Fucus, Dictyota, and Ectocarpus, which are brown algae belonging to ...

Integrating Oceanographic Data and Benthic Community Structure Temporal Series to Assess the Dynamics of a Marginal Reef

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Reefs are the richest marine ecosystems. Their benthic communities generate structural complexity and participate in nutrient cycles, providing habitat and food for many marine species.

Victim of changes? Marine macroalgae in a changing world. [PDF]

Ann Bot, 2023
Abstract Background Marine macroalgae (‘seaweeds’) are a diverse and globally distributed group of photosynthetic organisms that together generate considerable primary productivity, provide an array of different habitats for other organisms, and contribute many important ecosystem functions and ...

Exploring the Potential of Macroalgae for Sustainable Crop Production in Agriculture

Life
Marine macroalgae, which typically colonize coastal areas, are simple plant organisms. They live on rocks in coastal regions and are classified into red, brown, and green macroalgae.

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.

Influence of Direct Saponification Conditions on Sterol Yield and Composition of the Unsaponifiable Fraction of the Microalga Isochrysis galbana and the Seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saponification is a key step for recovering the unsaponifiable fraction (USF) of lipids, which contains bioactive sterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids. This study optimized direct saponification conditions (50–300 g L−1 KOH; 60°C–100°C) to recover sterol‐rich USFs from the microalga Isochrysis galbana and the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum,

Determination of intertidal macroalgae community patterns using the power law model.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The spatial heterogeneity of macroalgae in intertidal zones affects the stability of marine ecosystem communities, contributes to the maintenance of coastal biodiversity, and has an essential role in ecosystem and habitat maintenance.
