In this work, the brown algae Macrocystis pyrifera were pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid, water and three different types of ionic liquids (ILs): 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][OAc]), 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene acetate ([DBNH][OAc]) and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene-sulfurdioxide-monoethanolamine (DBU-MEA-SO2-SIL), to disassemble the complex polysaccharide structure. After each pretreatment procedure, enzymatic saccharification was performed to release the monosaccharides. The main building blocks of M. pyrifera were processed by derivatization via acid methanolysis and subjected to gas chromatographic analysis. It was found that the main constituents were alginate (60.6 wt.%) and cellulose (22.6 wt.%) of total carbohydrate content. The degradation of alginate requires the action of alginate lyase and oligoalginate lyase, which hydrolyze the main chain in a synergistic mechanism releasing uronic acid (unsaturated uronate). Upon saccharification of cellulose, ...

Consumer growth and reproductive capacity are direct functions of diet. Strongylocentrotid sea urchins, the dominant herbivores in California kelp forests, strongly prefer giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera), but are highly catholic in their ability to consume other species. The biomass of Macrocystis fluctuates greatly in space and time, and the extent to which urchins can use alternate species of algae or a mixed diet of multiple algal species to maintain fitness when giant kelp is unavailable is unknown. We experimentally examined the effects of single and mixed species diets on consumption, growth and gonad weight in the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Urchins were fed single species diets consisting of one of four common species of macroalgae (the kelps Macrocystis pyrifera and Pterygophora californica, and the red algae Chondracanthus corymbiferus and Rhodymenia californica (hereafter referred to by genus)) or a mixed diet containing all four species ad libitum over a 13-week period

July 12, 2012. (NaturalNews) High levels of radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster reached Pacific shores just days after the catastrophe occurred, according to a recent study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. Tests conducted on samples of Macrocystis pyrifera, also known as Giant kelp, revealed the presence of radioactive iodine-131 at levels 500 percent higher in Southern California than in any other area of the country tested.. Based on data collected from several different test sites, researchers from the California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) Department of Biological Sciences learned that the highest levels of radioactive contamination from Fukushima occurred in Central and Southern California. But the worst contamination of all, at least as far as iodine-131 is concerned, was found at Southern Californias Corona Del Mar Beach.. According to the figures, samples of Giant kelp pulled from the Santa Cruz area revealed 2.0 becquerels per gram ...

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of marine heatwaves. A recent extreme warming event (2014-2016) of unprecedented magnitude and duration in the California Current System allowed us to evaluate the response of the kelp forest community near its southern (warm) distribution limit. We obtained sea surface temperatures for the northern Pacific of Baja California, Mexico, and collected kelp forest community data at three islands, before and after the warming event. The warming was the most intense and persistent event observed to date, with low-pass anomalies 1°C warmer than the previous extremes during the 1982-1984 and 1997-1998 El Niños. The period between 2014 and 2017 accounted for ∼50% of marine heatwaves days in the past 37 years, with the highest maximum temperature intensities peaking at 5.9°C above average temperatures for the period. We found significant declines in the number of Macrocystis pyrifera individuals, except at the northernmost island, and corresponding

It is not a scientific classification, but rather a colloquial term. Common names are listed, if known. The most primitive algae are the blue-green algae, which are basically bacteria with photosynthetic capabilities. This species is known for having chlorophyllide c(carotenoids), mitochondria with tubular structure cristae, zoospores, and biflagellate cells. Green algae: Green algae often look like strands of green hair flowing in the current. 5. Protist , eukaryote , britannica.

I came to Hopkins Marine Station as a postdoctoral scholar to study the seasonal variation of the phylogenetic, taxonomic and functional diversity of microorganisms associated with the most important kelp species around Monterey Bay, CA, Macrocystis pyrifera. I am using genomics and high-throughput sequencing technologies to examine the metabolic potential, biogeography, and evolution of uncultured microbes from this unique aquatic environment. Kelp forests represent one of the largest preserves of biodiversity, and understanding the role and value of this vast diversity requires that microbiological studies be conducted at the level of the individual organism in order to determine the metabolic capabilities of the uncultured majority of microbes in such a complex community. My work involves applying my scientific background and experience to not only help determine microbial trophic interactions that form the basis of kelp forest ecosystems (thus helping in the conservation of these habitats), ...

Toxoplasma gondii is a land-derived parasite that infects humans and marine mammals. Infections are a significant cause of mortality for endangered southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis), but the transmission mechanism is poorly understood. Otter exposure to T. gondii has been linked to the consumption of marine turban snails in kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests. It is unknown how turban snails acquire oocysts, as snails scrape food particles attached to surfaces, whereas T. gondii oocysts enter kelp beds as suspended particles via runoff. We hypothesized that waterborne T. gondii oocysts attach to kelp surfaces when encountering exopolymer substances (EPS) forming the sticky matrix of biofilms on kelp, and thus become available to snails. Results of a dietary composition analysis of field-collected snails and of kelp biofilm indicate that snails graze the dense kelp-biofilm assemblage composed of pennate diatoms and bacteria inserted within the EPS gel-like matrix. To test whether ...

Organisms living along environmental gradients often utilize phenotypic plasticity to maximize their survival across a range of conditions. Wherever gradients occur, there is potential for divergence through isolation-by-adaptation (IBA) to build-up between genotypes experiencing different selective pressures. Plasticity in traits pertaining to mating systems in particular are likely to constitute an interesting and revealing model for the study of the underlying mechanisms behind parapatric speciation. Giant kelp, Macrocystis spp., shows striking plasticity in holdfast morphology and reproductive strategy when colonizing intertidal (M. integrifolia morph) versus subtidal (M. pyrifera morph) areas along temperate rocky coastlines of the eastern Pacific Ocean. In the intertidal, high photosynthetically-active radiation (PAR) and UV radiation limit development of spores, recruitment of microscopic gametophytes, and growth and survival of embryonic sporophytes of M. pyrifera.

Nest-building in primates refers to the behaviour of building nests by extant strepsirrhines (lemurs and lorisoids) and hominid apes (gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans). Strepsirrhines build nests for both sleeping and also for raising families. Hominid apes build nests for sleeping at night, and in some species, for sleeping during the day. Nest-building by hominid apes is learned by infants watching the mother and others in the group, and is considered tool use rather than animal architecture. Old World monkeys and New World monkeys do not nest. It has been speculated that a major evolutionary advance in the cognitive abilities of hominoids may first have occurred due to the development of nest-building behaviour and that the transition from nest-building to ground-sleeping led to modifications in the quality and quantity of hominid sleep, which in turn may have enhanced waking survival skills through priming, promoted creativity and innovation, and aided the consolidation of ...

Drs. Tsuyoshi Miyakawa, Keizo Takao, and their colleagues found that Shn-2 deficiency results in mild chronic brain inflammation, which leads to a unique alteration of a specific region in the brain, the dentate gyrus. The immature Dentate Gyrus (iDG), as it is referred to by the researchers, is presumed to produce schizophrenia-related phenotypes, such as working memory deficits and impaired nest-building behavior, as reported in Neuropsychopharmacology.. The transcriptome patterns in the prefrontal cortex of the Shn-2 KO mice and post-mortem schizophrenia patients are surprisingly similar, with 100 commonly altered genes. Interestingly, 11 of the top 20 ranked genes with altered expression levels are involved in inflammatory or immune function. The brains of the mutant mice also exhibit numerous schizophrenia-related phenotypes, including decreased parvalbumin and GAD67 levels, increased theta and decreased gamma power on electroencephalograms, activation of astrocytes, and a thinner ...

Algae are protists that range in size from the very small nanoplankton to the giant kelp. Algae are typically found in marine and freshwater habitats.

Kelp forests extend throughout most of the nearshore waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Hugging the coastline, they extend from just beyond the breaking waves to depths of ,30 meters. Although kelp forests are a familiar and iconic habitat within the sanctuary, kelp canopy cover typically encompasses about 25 square miles, or less than 0.5% of the total surface area within the sanctuary. Although MBNMS encompasses 6,094 square miles of ocean, only 8% is within recreational diving depths (,130 feet).. Two species account for the bulk of physical structure and kelp biomass: the giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, and the bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana. Although it is difficult to distinguish the two species using remotely sensed data (e.g., aerial photographs or hyperspectral images), long-term patterns of kelp canopy cover are persistent throughout the sanctuary.. Bull kelp, which tolerates high wave action, is typical along exposed rocky shores, whereas giant kelp is abundant ...

Santa Barbara Coastal Long-Term Ecological Research (SBC) Project is headquartered at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is part of the National Science Foundations (NSF) Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network. NSF established the LTER Program in 1980 to support research on long term ecological phenomena. The research focus of SBC LTER is on ecological systems at the land-ocean margin. Although there is increasing concern about the impacts of human activities on coastal watersheds and nearshore marine environments, there have been few long-term studies of the linkages among oceanic, reef, sandy beaches, wetland, and upland habitats. SBC LTER is helping to fill this gap by studying the effects of oceanic and coastal watershed influences on kelp forests in the Santa Barbara Channel located off the coast of southern California. Giant kelp is the worlds largest and fastest growing submarine plant. Giant kelp forests occur in the northern and southern hemispheres and are one of ...

There are two major types of sheephead fisheries in southern California, and they have different effects on sheephead populations. The commercial fishery targets intermediate-sized sheephead and can take them in very large quantities, while the recreational fishery strongly targets only the largest sheephead, and potentially fewer of them. The result is that populations of sheephead have had different treatments: (a) significant size reduction while density remains relatively normal and (b) significant density reduction while size structure remains relatively normal. My goal is to identify populations with each treatment and survey those populations and the associated habitat. I would then determine what effects reducing sheephead sizes and reducing density have separately on sheephead, urchins, and giant kelp. And, thanks to the excellent MPA system in California, there are plenty of populations that are not directly affected by fishing which can serve as control groups (Fig 1 ...

To Russell, the craftster trend - driven by a deluge of crafty bloggers and websites like GetCrafty.com - is a no-brainer. We all have a lot of tech jobs, were sending e-mails and delivering documents, she says. People are wanting something creative, something with concrete progress. They want something they can make and show, because in this day and age, there are not a lot of things you can show and be proud of. Tom Lundgren, professor of the fiber arts department at Colorado State University, recalls how bestselling author Thomas Moore discussed the needle arts in his 1992 book Care of the Soul. Not just in terms of therapy, but in terms of breathing. How often do we get to do something rhythmic and soothing like handling a line of yarn over and over? he says.

SeaGuard contains a beneficial mix of Pure Unrefined Sea Salt and Organic Icelandic Kelp which provides over 80 essential minerals, vitamins & micronutrients including iodine, potassium, calcium, iron, vitamins A & C, amino acids, enzymes and more. Many of the trace minerals contained in sea salt and kelp act as building blocks for a wide range of enzymes, which maintain the proper functioning of all the animals vital systems. The enzymatic action of kelp helps to extract the maximum nourishment from the feed and to digest it completely. Animals on kelp tend to eat less grain and roughage because they need less when their feed is fully utilized through the digestive action of kelp. 5 lbs.

Kelp off California was contaminated with short-lived radioisotopes a month after Japans Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant accident, a sign that the spilled radiation reached the states coastline, according to a new scientific study. Scientists from CSU Long Beach tested giant kelp collected off Orange County, Santa Cruz and other locations after the March 2011 accident and detected radioactive iodine, which was released from the damaged nuclear reactor. [...] giant kelp concentrates radioactive iodine - for every 1 molecule in the water, there would be 10,000 in its tissues. The level of radioactive iodine found there - 2.5 becquerel per gram of dry weight - was well above levels sampled in kelps prior to the Fukushima release, according to the paper, published online in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. In the marine environment, it was significant, but probably not harmful at the levels we detected it, except it may have affected certain fishs thyroid systems. The EPA measured

A key to advancing the understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)-like symptoms is the development of spontaneous animal models. Over 55 generations of bidirectional selection for nest-building behavior in house mice, Mus musculus, resulted in a 40-fold difference in the amount of cotton used for a nest in high (BIG) and low (SMALL) selected lines. The nesting behavior of BIG mice appears to be compulsive-like and has initial face validity as an animal model for OCD in humans. Compulsive-like digging behavior was assessed; BIG male mice buried about three times as many marbles as SMALL male mice, strengthening face validity. Using the open field and elevated plus maze, SMALL male mice showed higher levels of anxiety/fear-like behavior than BIG male mice, indicating that compulsive-like and not anxiety-like behavior was measured. To establish predictive validity, chronic (4 weeks) oral administration of fluoxetine (30, 50 and 100. mg/kg/day) and clomipramine (80. mg/kg/day), both ...

branched filaments. The larger species have filaments that are massed together and resemble the leaves and stems of plants. They have no flagella and typically grow attached to a hard surface or on other algae. Some species contain a red pigment; others range in color from green to red, purple, and greenish-black. The cell walls of Coralline red algae become heavily encrusted with minerals and help to cement and stabilize coral reefs. Brown algae (Phaeophyta). The brown algae, or Phaeophyta, are shiny brown seaweeds that are especially abundant along rocky coasts, although some float in the open ocean. Brown algae are large in size and include the giant kelps, which are located along the Pacific coast and form forests that provide habitat to a wide range of marine life. Some species of brown algae have structures called holdfasts that anchor the algae to submerged rocks. Attached to the holdfasts are stemlike stalks that support wide leaflike blades. These blades provide the major surface for ...

Sensitivity to Human Activities. Indirect effects. Kelp has traditionally been collected for use as an agricultural fertiliser and to improve soil structure. The change to mechanical harvesting from live kelp beds is the most significant human activity directly affecting the kelp in the kelp forests. Other important activities which impact on kelp beds include eutrophication from domestic and agricultural nutrient run-off, which can result in increased turbidity in coastal waters due to blooms of phytoplankton as well as affecting the physiology of the kelp plants. Turbidity increases also occur as the result of increased silt loads in rivers draining agricultural areas and from the particulate components of sewage. The removal of predator species is known to have had major effects in Pacific and Eastern Canadian kelp beds. Effects of predator removal and of the limited harvesting of edible urchins in the UK are not yet known. Very little information is available on the effects of human ...
