Phytochemical Diversity, Nutritional Values, and Biological Properties of Halopithys incurva (Hudson) Batters, 1902

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Halopithys incurva is a red macroalga distributed across the Mediterranean Sea and North‐East Atlantic, with occasional reports from the Indian Ocean. It exhibits a rich chemical diversity, including isoflavones, bromophenols, MAAs, pigments, phycobiliproteins, primary metabolites, and neuroactive compounds.

Two divergent Symbiodinium genomes reveal conservation of a gene cluster for sunscreen biosynthesis and recently lost genes

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The marine dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium, is a well-known photosynthetic partner for coral and other diverse, non-photosynthetic hosts in subtropical and tropical shallows, where it comprises an essential component of marine ecosystems.

Cold comfort for change: Stream mats as biological indicators of ecosystem processes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 261-292, April 2026.
Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...

Extraction and antioxidant capacity of mycosporine-like amino acids from red algae in Japan.

Bioscience, biotechnology and biochemistry
Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are the natural UV absorbing compounds with antioxidant activity found in microalgae and macroalgae. We collected red algae Asparagopsis taxiformis, Meristotheca japonica, and Polysiphonia senticulosa from Nagasaki ...

Photoacclimation of cryptophytes and diatoms to light variability in the Western Antarctic Peninsula

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 643-665, April 2026.
Abstract Meltwater stratification during austral summer along the rapidly warming Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) exposes coastal phytoplankton to sudden light shifts. Such variability is thought to modulate phytoplankton dynamics, yet the photoacclimation capacity of Antarctic phytoplankton, especially cryptophytes, remains unclear.

UV-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids in the eyes of temperate marine and freshwater fish species

Frontiers in Marine Science
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the photochemically most reactive waveband of incident solar irradiation. Despite high absorption in aquatic environments, UVR causes numerous biochemical, genetic, and cytotoxic effects in aquatic organisms.

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...
