Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton on the planet and form harmful algal
blooms in freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Recent research suggests that …

Mucilage is an exopolymeric organic substance that occurs in the marine environment due
to the overgrowth of a type of sea algae. Extreme blooms of algae are often triggered by …

Environmental pollution by organic compounds and metals became extensive as mining
and industrial activities increased in the 19th century and have intensified since then …

Marine organisms were evaluated as possible biomonitors of heavy metal contamination in
marine coastal areas. Concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn were measured in the green …

The concentrations of metals were measured in macroalgae species seasonally at eight
coastal stations along the eastern Aegean coast. Sediment and seawater samples were also …

Stress regimes defined as the synchronous or sequential action of abiotic and biotic stresses
determine the performance and distribution of species. The natural patterns of stress to …

The marine environment is subjected to ever-increasing levels of contamination, especially
along the coastal areas with urban and industrial activities. Consequently, monitoring …

The aim of this study is to present and to discuss some characteristics of recalcitrant organic
matter mechanism and formation. These aggregates called mucilages that are produced by …

This review analyzes the state of knowledge on the capacity of Mediterranean macroalgae
to accumulate, tolerate and biomonitor macro-and micro-elements present in seawater and …

Abstract The distribution of Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentration in two seagrass species
in addition to six species of marine macro algae: Cystoseira sp., Gelidium crinale, Laurencia …
