Algae Protein Creates Sustainable Alternatives for Various Food Matrices: From Function to Nutrition

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 5, September 2025.
Abstract Protein deficiency and environmental deterioration are pressing and complex issues in traditional agriculture system. Algae, which can grow without the need of land and with minimal water, offer a rich source of protein. Recently, large‐scale algae cultivation and advanced extraction techniques have been developed, positioning algae protein as

Comparative Untargeted LC-HRMS-Based Metabolomic Profiling of Gracilaria edulis (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) from Three Different Beaches Using Sequential Solvent Extraction

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Gracilaria edulis, a red seaweed that is widely known as an agar-producing seaweed, has a unique biosynthetic pathway for producing bioactive compounds. However, most of the bioactive compounds of this species have not explored yet.

Ring buckling and C=N isomerization pathways for efficient photoprotection in two nature‐inspired UVA sunscreens revealed through ultrafast dynamics and high‐level calculations

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 298-313, March/April 2024.
The UV filters in sunscreens are our frontline defense against the harms of ultraviolet radiation. In this paper, we continue the industry's shift toward nature‐inspired, particularly microbial, UV filters by unraveling the fundamental mechanisms of photoprotection in two synthetic analogs of mycosporine‐like amino acids.

Effect of vertical mixing on short-term mycosporine-like amino acid synthesis in the Antarctic diatom, Thalasiossira sp.

Scientia Marina, 2012
One of the adaptations whereby phytoplankton can alleviate damage induced by ultraviolet radiation (280-400 nm) is the synthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs).

Survey of ultraviolet radiation-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids in adult females of planktonic copepods

Annals of Tropical Research, 2002
The presence of UV-absorbing rnycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) from nine planktonic calanoid copepod species were investigated. MAA concentrations from methanol extracts of adult females were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

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.

Functional characterization of the mys genes for porphyra-334 biosynthesis from the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune by heterologous expression.

The Journal of general and applied microbiology
Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are low-molecular-weight UV-protective compounds, and porphyra-334 and shinorine are common MAAs. Porphyra-334 is synthesized via the conjugation of mycosporine-glycine with threonine, whereas substitution with serine yields shinorine.
