PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND PHOTOTAXIS IN ULVA LACTUCA GAMETES
1. Fruiting margins of Ulva lactuca thallus are characterized by a higher content of carotenoids, as well as by higher respiratory and lower photosynthetic activity, than the corresponding vegetative thallus. Photosynthesis in the male margin was also characterized by a longer induction period than was observed in the vegetative thallus by the ...

SUMMARY Assessing the potential for macroalgae to function as a carbon sink (blue carbon) and nitrogen (N) assimilation is under intensive investigation. The content of elemental carbon (C) and N in macroalgae is the best indicator of their potential; however, with respect to the thallus, C and N content varies in space and time.

On the Efficacy and Ecotoxicity of Antifouling Biocides Lethal and Sublethal Effects on Target and Non-target Organisms [PDF]
From an environmental perspective, there is a need to reduce the amount of biocides from antifouling paints in the marine ecosystem as these biocides can exert a negative effect on the marine life. One way to do this is to optimize the use of biocides in

Rapid toxicity assessment of six antifouling booster biocides using a microplate-based chlorophyll fluorescence in Undaria pinnatifida gametophytes [PDF]
Biocides of antifouling agents can cause problems in marine ecosystems by damaging to non-target algal species. Aquatic bioassays are important means of assessing the quality of water containing mixtures of contaminants and of providing a safety standard

In vitro exposure of Ulva lactuca Linnaeus (Chlorophyta) to gasoline: biochemical and morphological alterations [PDF]
Refined fuels have considerable share of pollution of marine ecosystems. Gasoline is one of the most consumed fuel worldwide, but its effects on marine benthic primary producers are poorly investigated.

Abstract Green tides caused by Ulva species have become one of the most serious marine ecological disasters, now impacting many coastal nations around the world. Although climatic and environmental drivers of these macroalgal blooms are well recognized, growing evidence identifies Ulva‐associated microbiota as potential pivotal regulators of bloom ...
