Interaction of Thalassia testudinum Metabolites with Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Its Effects on Benzo(a)pyrene-Induced Mutagenicity [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2020
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effects of Thalassia testudinum hydroethanolic extract, its polyphenolic fraction and thalassiolin B on the activity of phase I metabolizing enzymes as well as their antimutagenic effects ...

Microbiomes of Thalassia testudinum throughout the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico are influenced by site and region while maintaining a core microbiome [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Plant microbiomes are known to serve several important functions for their host, and it is therefore important to understand their composition as well as the factors that may influence these microbial communities.

The Microbial Communities of Leaves and Roots Associated with Turtle Grass (Thalassia testudinum) and Manatee Grass (Syringodium filliforme) are Distinct from Seawater and Sediment Communities, but Are Similar between Species and Sampling Sites [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2018
Seagrasses are vital members of coastal systems, which provide several important ecosystem services such as improvement of water quality, shoreline protection, and serving as shelter, food, and nursery to many species, including economically important ...

Construction and characterization of an infectious cDNA clone of turtle grass virus X from a naturally infected Thalassia testudinum plant [PDF]

mBio
Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of marine flowering plants that play crucial roles in nearshore ecology, yet their interactions with viruses remain largely unexplored.

Direct contribution of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum to lime mud production. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2014
Seagrass beds contribute to oceanic carbonate lime mud production by providing a habitat for a wide variety of calcifying organisms and acting as efficient sediment traps. Here we provide evidence for the direct implication of Thalassia testudinum in the precipitation of aragonite needles.

Polyphenolic Fraction Obtained From Thalassia testudinum Marine Plant and Thalassiolin B Exert Cytotoxic Effects in Colorectal Cancer Cells and Arrest Tumor Progression in a Xenograft Mouse Model

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Marine plants are important sources of pharmacologically active metabolites. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the cytotoxic and antitumor activity of a polyphenolic fraction obtained from Thalassia testudinum marine plant and thalassiolin B in

Range-wide population genetic structure of the Caribbean marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
AbstractMany marine species have widespread geographic ranges derived from their evolutionary and ecological history particularly their modes of dispersal. Seagrass (marine angiosperm) species have ranges that are unusually widespread, which is not unexpected following recent reviews of reproductive strategies demonstrating the potential for long ...

ESTIMACIÓN DE LA BIOMASA DE THALASSIA TESTUDINUM A PARTIR DE DATOS DE BIOMASA HÚMEDA/ Estimation of Thalassia testudinum dry biomass from wet biomass data

Revista de Investigaciones Marinas, 2014
La biomasa seca del macrofitobentos se emplea para analizar la abundancia, productividad y otros procesos que se producen en los ecosistemas. Pero el secado de la biomasa implica la destrucción del especimen, así como consumo de tiempo, electricidad.
