Phylogenetic Tree Analysis of the Cold-Hot Nature of Traditional Chinese Marine Medicine for Possible Anticancer Activity [PDF]

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Traditional Chinese Marine Medicine (TCMM) represents one of the medicinal resources for research and development of novel anticancer drugs. In this study, to investigate the presence of anticancer activity (AA) displayed by cold or hot nature of TCMM,

Extensive diversity of Symbiochlorum-related algae from environmental sequences and culture strains supports the description of the new family Symbiochloraceae (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta). [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract The genus Symbiochlorum, initially described from a single strain isolated from a coral in the South China Sea, was shown to be a sister lineage of Ignatius within the green algal order Ignatiales. Its significant phylogenetic divergence from Ignatius raises the possibility of its classification as a new family.

Taxonomic identification and life cycle comparison of two populations of the monostromatic green algae Monostroma nitidum. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study employed molecular markers and morphological studies of two populations of Monostroma nitidum collected from YJ and ZJ. The results revealed no obvious differences in tufA and 18S rDNA sequences between the two populations, although there were extremely significant differences in morphological characteristics. M.

Resolving the identity of commercially cultivated Ulva (Ulvaceae, Chlorophyta) in integrated seaweed‐abalone aquaculture farms in South Africa

Journal of Phycology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1272-1283, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Species of Ulva have a wide range of commercial applications and are increasingly being recognized as promising candidates for integrated aquaculture. In South Africa, Ulva has been commercially cultivated in integrated seaweed‐abalone aquaculture farms since 2002, with more than 2000 tonnes of biomass cultivated per annum in land‐based paddle

Salinity and host drive Ulva‐associated bacterial communities across the Atlantic–Baltic Sea gradient

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6260-6277, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The green seaweed Ulva is a model system to study seaweed–bacteria interactions, but the impact of environmental drivers on the dynamics of these interactions is little understood. In this study, we investigated the stability and variability of the seaweed‐associated bacteria across the Atlantic–Baltic Sea salinity gradient.

Exhaustive reanalysis of barcode sequences from public repositories highlights ongoing misidentifications and impacts taxa diversity and distribution

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 1, Page 86-101, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Accurate species identification often relies on public repositories to compare the barcode sequences of the investigated individual(s) with taxonomically assigned sequences. However, the accuracy of identifications in public repositories is often questionable, and the names originally given are rarely updated.

Preparation and characterization of a novel biodegradable film based on sulfated polysaccharide extracted from seaweed Ulva intestinalis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 9, Issue 8, Page 4108-4116, August 2021., 2021
Ulva Intestinalis could be a new source for edible film production, nevertheless the mechanical, optical, physical, and barrier propertiesof the films were a function of type and concentration of plastisizer. Abstract Seaweeds can be a suitable, inexpensive, abundant, and renewable source for the production of biodegradable films as an alternative to ...

Algae to angiosperms: Autofluorescence for rapid visualization of plant anatomy among diverse taxa

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Premise Fluorescence microscopy is an effective tool for viewing plant internal anatomy. However, using fluorescent antibodies or labels hinders throughput. We present a minimal protocol that takes advantage of inherent autofluorescence and aldehyde‐induced fluorescence in plant cellular and subcellular structures to markedly increase throughput in ...

Foliose Ulva Species Show Considerable Inter‐Specific Genetic Diversity, Low Intra‐Specific Genetic Variation, and the Rare Occurrence of Inter‐Specific Hybrids in the Wild

Journal of Phycology, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 219-233, February 2021., 2021
Foliose Ulva spp. have become increasingly important worldwide for their environmental and financial impacts. A large number of such Ulva species have rapid reproduction and proliferation habits, which explains why they are responsible for Ulva blooms, known as “green tides”, having dramatic negative effects on coastal ecosystems, but also making them ...
