First Report of Ulva sapora (Ulvales, Chlorophyta) from Indian Subcontinent
The green marine algal species Ulva sapora (U. sapora) had only been reported from Australia till date. In this study, we analyzed many algal specimens collected from different locations of Indian coastline and the Andaman Islands. Both morphological, as well as nuclear ITS1 based phylogenetic analysis, revealed them to be congruent with U. sapora. All

Review of available DNA sequence data: our understanding of macroalgal diversity in New Zealand
ABSTRACT Understanding our biodiversity is of the utmost importance to determine evolutionary histories of organisms, reliably detect new incursions and select species for commercial operations. Advances in molecular techniques have provided a strong tool to facilitate a deeper understanding of our biodiversity. Macroalgae are a polyphyletic group that

Polysaccharides from Enteromorpha prolifera Improve Glucose Metabolism in Diabetic Rats
This study investigated the effects of polysaccharides from Enteromorpha prolifera (PEP) on glucose metabolism in a rat model of diabetes mellitus (DM). PEP (0, 150, 300, and 600 mg/kg) was administered intragastrically to rats for four weeks. After treatment, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and insulin (INS) levels were measured, and the insulin ...
