One of the most fundamental and precarious stages in the life history of a marine benthic
alga is the colonization of a new substratum. For the majority of algae this is achieved by the …

Palmaria palmata, commonly referred to as dulse, is a well-known and highly valued red
macroalga distributed along the North Atlantic shores within a latitude range of …

The fine structure of pit plugs was examined in 63 species of red algae representing 34
families. The number of plug cap layers was found to be a taxonomically reliable character …

The propagules of macroalgae consist principally of the unicellular products of sexual or
asexual processes such as zygotes, parthenogenetic gametes, and spores formed as a …

Kappaphycus alvarezii was cultured in vitro under salinities ranging from 15 to 55 psu for 35
days to determine the differential effect on growth rate, carrageenan yield, and cellular …

Abstract In 2009, the European Union has defined an organic label for macroalgae, which
implies that the commercial harvest of algae shall not cause a significant impact on …

Red algal systematics is in a state of flux unparalleled since the early decades of this
century. Ultrastructural and biochemical studies are providing features for a revised …

Light quality is an important factor on regulating growth and development of algae. Two trials
were conducted to evaluate the effect of light quality on filmentous conchocelis (sporophyte …

Early life stages of marine organisms are predicted to be vulnerable to ocean acidification.
For macroalgae, reproduction and population persistence rely on spores to settle, adhere …

The short-term effects of UV radiation and low temperature on ultrastructure, photosynthetic
activity (measured as the maximal photochemical quantum yield of photosystem II: Fv/Fm) …
