As a result of their nutritive values, algae have been used as a food resource for centuries,
and there is a growing interest to use them as enrichment ingredients in food products …

In diatoms, the main photosynthetic pigments are chlorophylls a and c, fucoxanthin,
diadinoxanthin and diatoxanthin. The marine pennate diatom Haslea ostrearia has long …

Marennine, the blue pigment produced by the diatom Haslea ostrearia, exists in two different
forms, the intra-and extracellular forms. We investigated the antibacterial, antiviral, and …

Microbial interactions play an essential role in aquatic ecosystems and are of the great
interest for both marine and freshwater ecologists. Recent development of new technologies …

The extensive application of graphene-family materials (GFMs) has increased its potential
risk to aquatic organisms. However, the influence of humic acid (HA) on the biotoxicity of …

Background and aims–The present study aims to describe a new species of pennate blue
diatom from the genus Haslea, H. nusantara sp. nov., collected from Semak Daun Island, the …

Haslea karadagensis is a recently-described diatom, the second species of blue diatom to
be identified, after Haslea ostrearia, the type species of the genus Haslea, which produces …

The marine pennate diatom Haslea ostrearia has long been known for its characteristic blue
pigment marennine, which is responsible for the greening of invertebrate gills, a natural …

Improvements in agricultural productivity are required to meet the demand of a growing
world population. Phytopathogens, weeds, and insects are challenges to agricultural …

Carbon-based nanoparticles such as graphene have many applications leading to their
industrial production. Few-Layer Graphene (FLG) is thus likely to be found in the …
