Commercially Exploited Seaweed Species in Africa: Occurrences, Chemical Composition, Current Value Chain and Opportunities for Value Addition

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Commercially exploited seaweed species in Africa, their biochemical composition, current uses, and value chain are reviewed. Potential value‐addition of seaweed is suggested regionally in Africa amongst countries producing similar seaweed species. ABSTRACT Africa has a wide range of coastal environments that support a diverse array of seaweed species ...

Diversity of phlorotannin profiles among sargassasacean species affecting variation and abundance of epiphytes

, 2016
In general, epiphytes have detrimental effects on the growth of their basiphytes due to competition for light and nutrients. Therefore, basiphyte species must expend energy suppressing epiphytes. Some studies suggest that phlorotannins, i.e.

UPLC-MS profiling of low molecular weight phlorotannin polymers in Ascophyllum nodosum, Helvetia canaliculata and Fucus spiralis [PDF]

, 2014
Phlorotannins are a group of complex polymers, found in particular brown macroalgae, composed solely of the monomer phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene).

Evaluation of Uliginosin B as a Modulator of the Ras Pathway: In Vivo Evidence From Caenorhabditis elegans and In Silico Insights

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study performs in vivo and in silico assays with uliginosin B, targeting its activity in the Ras signaling pathway, demonstrating a possible allosteric interaction with the HRAS (human) and LET‐60 (nematode) proteins, and a decrease in the overexpression of the let‐60 gene in the nematode C. elegans.

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
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.

Standardized 16S Meta‐Analysis Reveals Consistent Host‐Associated Patterns in Laminariales Epiphytic Microbiomes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
An integrated bioinformatic pipeline combining taxonomic, functional, and network analyses revealed host‐driven structuring of macroalgal microbiomes. Phaeophyceae hosted distinct epiphytic communities enriched in chemoheterotrophy and polysaccharide degradation, highlighting metabolic coupling, keystone taxa, and a standardized framework for ...

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1344-1355, August 2026.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.
