Brown algae have an important role in marine environments. With respect to their broad distribution and importance for the environment and human use, brown algae of the order Fucales in particular became a model system for physiological and ecological studies. Thus, several fucoids have been extensively studied for their composition on the molecular level. However, research of fucoid physiology and biochemistry so far mostly focused on the adult algae, so a holistic view on the development of these organisms, including the crucial first life stages, is still missing. Therefore, we employed non-targeted metabolite profiling by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to create a non-biased picture of the early development of the fucoid alga Fucus vesiculosus. We found that embryogenic physiology was mainly dominated by a tight regulation of carbon and energy metabolism. The first dramatic changes of zygote metabolism started within 1 h after fertilization, while metabolism of 6-9 days old embryos

Since the 1940s major declines in the distribution of Fucus vesiculosus (Kautsky et al., 1986) and even local extinctions (Nilsson et al., 2005) have been observed in the Baltic Sea where the species dominates the shallow hard-bottom areas. The decline was likely a consequence of increased anthropogenic stress. Large-scale disappearance of Fucus vesiculosus from an ecosystem can result in changes in the community composition (Wikstrom & Kautsky, 2007). The canopy created by Fucus vesiculosus forms a microclimate for the understory fauna and flora. Removal of the canopy exposes under lying fauna and flora to environmental conditions with which they would be intolerant of resulting in mortality events.. Fucus vesiculosus recruits readily to cleared areas of the shore and full recovery takes 1-3 years in British waters (Hartnoll & Hawkins, 1985). Keser & Larson (1984) investigated the recovery of Fucus vesiculosus to plots which had been scraped clean and burned with a propane torch. Fucus ...

Chlorophyll-binding proteins (CBPs) constitute a large family of proteins with diverse functions in both light-harvesting and photoprotection. The evolution of CBPs has been debated, especially with respect to the origin of the LI818 subfamily, members of which function in non-photochemical quenching and have been found in chlorophyll a/c-containing algae and several organisms of the green lineage, but not in red algae so far. The recent publication of the Ectocarpus siliculosus genome represents an opportunity to expand on previous work carried out on the origin and function of CBPs. The Ectocarpus genome codes for 53 CBPs falling into all major families except the exclusively green family of chlorophyll a/b binding proteins. Most stress-induced CBPs belong to the LI818 family. However, we highlight a few stress-induced CBPs from Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Chondrus crispus that belong to different sub-families and are promising targets for future functional studies.

Three structurally different fucoidans from the brown seaweeds Saccharina latissima (SL), Fucus vesiculosus (FV), and Cladosiphon okamuranus (CO), two chemically modified fucoidans with a higher degree of sulfation (SL-S, CO-S), and a synthetic totally sulfated octasaccharide (OS), related to fucoidans, were assessed on anticoagulant and antithrombotic activities in different in vitro experiments. The effects were shown to depend on the structural features of the compounds tested. Native fucoidan SL with a degree of sulfation (DS) of 1.3 was found to be the most active sample, fucoidan FV (DS 0.9) demonstrated moderate activity, while the polysaccharide CO (DS 0.4) was inactive in all performed experiments, even at high concentrations. Additional introduction of sulfate groups into fucoidan SL slightly decreased the anticoagulant effect of SL-S, while sulfation of CO, giving rise to the preparation CO-S, increased the activity dramatically.

Expression levels of iNOS and COX-2 from LPS-activated macrophages triggers the signaling cascades related to the inflammatory responses by inducing production of NO and PGE2, respectively (Seo et al. 2016, Torres-Rodríguez et al. 2016). Previously, Wijesinghe et al. (2012) and Kim et al. (2015) reported the ethanolic extracts from EC and SH has a potential to inhibit LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 production from RAW 264.7 macrophages (Wijesinghe et al. 2012, Kim et al. 2015). Similar to previous observations, treatment of ECE and SHE inhibited the elevated iNOS and COX-2 production from activated macrophages. Interestingly, the combinations synergistically decreased the levels of iNOS and COX-2 than ECE and SHE (Fig. 3). Cytokines are non-structural tiny proteins with small molecular weights ranging from 8 to 40,000 Da.

Fucoidans, sulfated polysaccharides extracted from brown algae, are marine products with the potential to modulate bone formation and vascularization processes. The bioactivity and safety of fucoidans are highly associated with their chemical structure, which may vary with algae species and extraction method. Thus, in depth evaluation of fucoidan extracts in terms of endotoxin content, cytotoxicity, and their detailed molecular biological impact on the individual cell types in bone is needed. In this study, we characterized fucoidan extracts from three different Fucus species including Fucus vesiculosus (Fv), Fucus serratus (Fs), and Fucus distichus subsp. evanescens (Fe) for their chemical features, endotoxin content, cytotoxicity, and bioactive effects on human outgrowth endothelial cells (OEC) and human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) as in vitro models for bone function and vascularization. Extracts contained mainly high molecular weight (HMW) fucoidans and were free of endotoxins that may ...

The concept of cost is an integral element of ecological theories, including optimal defense theory, resource availability theory, and growth-differentiation balance theory. Indeed most frameworks that attempt to explain within-plant patterns of secondary metabolites, as well as account for the evolution of induced defenses, presume that defenses are costly. One way in which investigators have sought to quantify the cost of secondary metabolites is to examine growth/defense tradeoffs, which are predicted to occur wherever resources cannot be simultaneously allocated to both growth and defense. However, emerging evidence suggests that these critical assumptions may not be valid for brown algal phlorotannins, compounds that occur throughout the division Phaeophyta and have served as analogs to vascular plant tannins in numerous tests of terrestrial-derived ecological theories in the marine environment. Here we present a model of phlorotannins as metabolites with both primary and secondary roles ...

Saccharina lattisima is a perennial kelp characteristic of wave sheltered sites of the North East Atlantic, distributed from northern Portugal to Spitzbergen, Svalbard (Birkett et al., 1998; Conor et al., 2004; Bekby & Moy, 2011; Moy & Christie, 2012). Saccharina lattisima is capable of reaching maturity within 15-20 months (Sjøtun, 1993) and has a life expectancy of 2-4 years (Parke, 1948). Maximum growth has been recorded in late winter early spring, in late summer and autumn growth rates slow (Parke, 1948; Lüning, 1979; Birkett et al., 1998). The overall length of the sporophyte may not change during the growth season due to marginal (distal) erosion of the blade, but extension growth of the blade has been measured at 1.1 cm/day, with total length addition of over 2.25 m of tissue per year (Birkett et al., 1998). Saccharina latissima has a heteromorphic life strategy. Vast numbers of zoospores are released from sori located centrally on the blade between autumn and winter. Zoospores settle ...

In botany, a zoid or zoïd /ˈzoʊ.ɪd/ is a reproductive cell that possesses one or more flagella, and is capable of independent movement. Zoid can refer to either an asexually reproductive spore or a sexually reproductive gamete. In sexually reproductive gametes, zoids can be either male or female depending on the species. For example, some brown alga (Phaeophyceae) reproduce by producing multi-flagellated male and female gametes that recombine to form the diploid sporangia. Zoids are primarily found in some protists, diatoms, green alga, brown alga, non-vascular plants, and a few vascular plants (ferns, cycads, and Ginkgo biloba). The most common classification group that produces zoids is the heterokonts or stramenopiles. These include green alga, brown alga, oomycetes, and some protists. The term is generally not used to describe motile, flagellated sperm found in animals. Zoid is also commonly confused for zooid which is a single organism that is part of a colonial animal. A zoid contains ...

TY - CONF. T1 - Extraction and Bioactivity assessment of Fucoidan from Brown seaweed. AU - Ale, Marcel Tutor. AU - Maruyama, Hiroko. AU - Tamauchi, Hidekazu. AU - Meyer, Anne S.. PY - 2011. Y1 - 2011. N2 - Fucoidan is a term used for a class of sulfated, fucose rich, polysaccharides extracted from brown seaweeds. These fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs) principally consist of a backbone of (1→3)- and (1→4)- α-linked -L-fucopyranose residues, that may be organized in stretches of (1→3)-α-fucan or of alternating α(1→3)- and α(1→4)-bonded L-fucopyranose residues with sulfate on C-2 or C-4 and rarely on C-3. A range of biological activities have been attributed to FCSPs including anti-tumoral, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory,and notably anticoagulant effects. Therefore special interest for potential pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetics and food applications of FCSPs have recently directed into utilization of brown seaweeds as a source of FCSPs and/or Fucoidan.

Pythium is a member of the Oomycota (also referred to as oomycetes), which are part of the heterokont/chromist clade [1, 2] within the Straminipila-Alveolata-Rhizaria superkingdom [3]. Recent phylogenies based on multiple protein coding genes indicate that the oomycetes, together with the uniflagellate hyphochytrids and the flagellates Pirsonia and Developayella, form the sister clade to the diverse photosynthetic orders in the phylum Ochrophyta [2, 4]. Therefore, the genomes of the closest relatives to Pythium outside of the oomycetes available to date would be those of the diatoms Thalassiosira [5] and Phaeodactylum [6], and the phaeophyte algae Ectocarpus [7].. Pythium is a cosmopolitan and biologically diverse genus. Most species are soil inhabitants, although some reside in saltwater estuaries and other aquatic environments. Most Pythium spp. are saprobes or facultative plant pathogens causing a wide variety of diseases, including damping-off and a range of field and post-harvest rots ...

Edible seaweeds are ideal sources of chemical compounds for improving health and well-being of humans. Several bioactive substances with antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities have reported from seaweeds. Tumour reductions, inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, free radical scavenging and significant antioxidant activity have been exhibited by red and brown seaweeds. The sulphated polysaccharides found in some of the brown seaweeds are being explored as antiviral agents and as aids in preventing blood clots. Sodium alginate found in brown seaweeds has the ability to protect the surface membranes of stomach and intestine. It acts as a haemostatic agent and has tried in the treatment of esophagitis and urolithiasis.

Brown seaweed polysaccharides (BSPs) are one of the primary active components from brown seaweed that has a range of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. However, the quality control of BSPs is a challenge due to their complicated structure and macromolecule. In this study, saccharide mapping based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), multi-angle laser light scattering, viscometer, and refractive index detector (HPSEC-MALLS-Vis-RID), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were used to discriminate the polysaccharides from nine different species of brown algae (BA1-9). The results showed that BSPs were composed of β-D-glucans and β-1,3−1,4-glucan linkages. The molecular weight, radius of gyration, and intrinsic viscosity of BSPs were ranging from 1.718 × 105 Da to 6.630 × 105 Da, 30.2 nm to 51.5 nm, and 360.99 mL/g to 865.52 mL/g, respectively. Moreover, α values of BSPs were in the range of 0.635 to 0.971, which indicated a rigid rod chain conformation. The antioxidant

Fucoidan or fucoidans cover a family of sulfated fucose-rich polysaccharides, built of a backbone of l-fucose units, and characteristically found in brown seaweeds.

Many protists produce egg cells in structures termed archegonia. Some algae and the oomycetes produce eggs in oogonia. In the brown alga Fucus, all four egg cells survive oogenesis, which is an exception to the rule that generally only one product of female meiosis survives to maturity. In plants, oogenesis occurs inside the female gametophyte via mitosis. In many plants such as bryophytes, ferns, and gymnosperms, egg cells are formed in archegonia. In flowering plants, the female gametophyte has been reduced to an eight-celled embryo sac within the ovule inside the ovary of the flower. Oogenesis occurs within the embryo sac and leads to the formation of a single egg cell per ovule. In ascaris, the oocyte does not even begin meiosis until the sperm touches it, in contrast to mammals, where meiosis is completed in the menstrual cycle. ...

The cell wall of brown algae is a major cell compartment involved in many physiological responses including cell growth, development, or in adaptation to the physico-chemical changes of the environment. Like other photosynthetic organisms (plants, red and green algae), brown algae have a cell wall mainly composed of polysaccharides, but taking into account phylogenetic distances, the compounds are distinct, with notably alginates and sulfated fucans. Most knowledge on cell wall compositions comes from chemical extractions carried out on whole algal plants, with the induced lost of most cellular information. Today, monoclonal antibodies specifically directed towards alginates and sulfated fucans have been developed and characterized. These tools can be used to precisely localize at a cellular and tissue level their particular polysaccharide fractions. In addition to the information on the structure and composition of the cell wall, these antibodies allow to study the biological roles of the cell ...

Phycodnaviridae are viruses with double-stranded DNA that infect chlorella, algal symbionts of paramecia and hydras. Members and prospective members of the family are large icosahedral viruses that infect eukaryotic algae. It is expected that the Phycodnaviridae will evolve into a large complex family or, more likely, split into a several families as new algal viruses are isolated and characterized. The reason for the complexity can be explained by a recent provocative paper that expanded the phylogenetic analysis and placed phycodnaviridae near the root of all eukaryotic DNA polymerases. So far, the genomes of two phycodnaviruses have been completely sequenced, a Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus (PCBV-1) and an Ectocarpus siliculosus virus (EsV-1) and scientists are in the process of sequencing an E. huxleyi virus (EhV-86). The genomes of these three viruses have only nine genes in common, which is particularly surprising since they are all from the same virus family. ...

Phycodnaviridae are viruses with double-stranded DNA that infect chlorella, algal symbionts of paramecia and hydras. Members and prospective members of the family are large icosahedral viruses that infect eukaryotic algae.

Fucus vesiculosus, known by the common name bladder wrack or bladderwrack, is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.. It is also known by the common names black tang, rockweed, bladder fucus, sea oak, black tany, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus, and rock wrack. It was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811, and was used extensively to treat goitre, a swelling of the thyroid gland related to iodine deficiency.. Primary chemical constituents of this plant include mucilage, algin, mannitol, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, iodine, bromine, potassium, volatile oils, and many other minerals.. ...

Fucoidan is known to exhibit crucial biological activities, including anti-tumor activity. In this study, we examined the influence of crude fucoidan extracted from Sargassum sp. (MTA) and Fucus vesiculosus (SIG) on Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LCC) and melanoma B16 cells (MC). In vitro studies were performed using cell viability analysis and showed that SIG and MTA fucoidans significantly decreased the viable number of LCC and MC cells in a dose-response fashion. Histochemical staining showed morphological changes of melanoma B16 cells after exposure to fucoidan. The observed changes were indicative of crude fucoidan induced apoptosis. Male C57BL/6JJCL mice were subjected to daily i.p. injections over 4 days with either SIG or MTA fucoidan (50 mg/kg body wt.). The cytolytic activity of natural killer (NK) cells was enhanced by crude fucoidan in a dose-dependent manner as indicated by 51Cr labeled YAC-1 target cell release. This study provides substantial indications that crude fucoidan exerts ...

Bladder wrack seaweed Fucus vesiculosus growing in the middle zone of the shore on Washing Ledge, Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset. The name of the seaweed derives from the paired air bladders visible on either side of the midrib of the fronds. The air bladders keep the seaweed blade buoyant and near the surface of the water when the tide is in, so that photosynthesis can take place. Seaweed is a marine algae, some species of which float freely in the sea & some, as here, are attached to the shore. - Stock Image B312/0022

It is common on the north-western coast of Europe and the north-eastern coast of North America. - Stock Image C030/7843

The research was carried out as part of the SWAFAX project (EU FP7 funded) in which CyberColloids was a participant. The overall aim of the SWAFAX project was to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential of phlorotannin (i.e. polyphenol) rich extracts made from the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum. This new paper gives an important insight into the role of gastrointestinal digestion and colonic biotransformation on brown seaweed polyphenol bioactivity in the human colon and follows on from a previous publication (2016) in which we reported for the first time that seaweed phlorotannins are metabolised and absorbed by humans, predominantly in the large intestine..

AU - Bonham, Maxine Penelope. PY - 2018. Y1 - 2018. N2 - Marine macroalgae are rapidly gaining recognition as a source of functional ingredients that can be used to promote health and prevent disease. There is accumulating evidence from in vitro studies, animal models, and emerging evidence in human trials that phlorotannins, a class of polyphenol that are unique to marine macroalgae, have anti-hyperglycaemic and anti-hyperlipidaemic effects. The ability of phlorotannins to mediate hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia makes them attractive candidates for the development of functional food products to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. This chapter gives an overview of the sources and structure of phlorotannins, as well as how they are identified and quantified in marine ...

This work reports on the isolation and determination of biotransformation products obtained from the organoarsenic compounds that are present in Fucus distichus when it was subjected to an open anaerobic decomposition by using the Hydride Generation Gas Chromatography Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HG-GC-AAS) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS). The seaweed and filtrate residues obtained from the open anaerobic degradation procedure were extracted in methanol and partitioned in phenol-ether-water mixtures to obtain water soluble extracts. The water soluble extracts were cleaned up and separated on a gel permeation Sephadex G15 column. Arsenic species concentrations were determined by using HG-GC-AAS. Final characterization of the biotransformation isolates was carried out on HPLC-ICP-MS. Only two arsenic species, 2-dimethylarsinoyl ethanol (DMAE) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMAA), were positively identified in the water soluble ...

ABSTRACT: Epibacterial communities on thalli of the algal species Fucus serratus, Fucus vesiculosus, Laminaria saccharina, Ulva compressa, Delesseria sanguinea and Phycodrys rubens were analysed using 16S ribosomal RNA gene-based DGGE. Individuals of all species were collected in the Kiel Fjord (Baltic Sea) and in the rocky intertidal of Helgoland (North Sea). DGGE gels as well as cluster and multidimensional scaling analysis based on the DGGE band patterns of the epibacterial community showed significant differences between the epibacterial communities on the investigated algal species both in the Baltic and North Seas. Epibacterial communities differed less between regions than between host species, and were more similar on closely related host species. Results give the first evidence for lineage-specific bacterial associations to algal thalli. Furthermore, the results suggest that these algal species may control their epibiotic bacterial communities. ...

Remember the song: Whats it all about, algae? By the time this articles over you may feel like shouting out Kelp, Kelp, call the carps. This piece considers marine algae as a whole, and brown algae in particular; for naturalists and aquarists. What they are, how they make their life, how to select and culture them.. History of Use:. Prior to World War I the study of marine plants was little more than an academic curiosity. With the German cutoff in World War I of potash (as a source of the element potassium) used to make fertilizer and gun powder, and Japanese agar (from red algae) in World War II research, processing and industrialization of seaweeds was expanded greatly.. Lay people, that is vulgar non-aquarists, experience with marine macrophytes is in accord with the implications of the word sea weed... noxious, useless, even bothersome; a bunch of stinky litter on the beach attracting flies, clogging their boat prop or fishing line. But these algae and plants fulfill nobler roles in ...

Brown macroalgae (Phaeophyta) hold high potential as feedstock for biorefineries due to high biomass productivity and carbohydrate content. They are, however, a challenging, unconventional feedstock for microbial refining and several processing problems need to be solved to make them a viable option. Pre-treatment is necessary to enhance accessibility and solubility of the biomass components but should be minimal and mild to assure sustainable and cost-effective processing. Here, two routes to pre-treatLaminaria digitata to release polysaccharides were investigated: hot water pre-treatment by autoclaving (121 °C, 20 min or 60 min) and a two-step extraction with mild acid (0.1 M HCl) followed by alkaline treatment. Hot water pre-treatment resulted in partial extraction of a mixture of polysaccharides consisting of alginate, fucoidan and laminarin. After mild acid pre-treatment, alginate was found in the remaining insoluble residues and was extracted in a second step via alkaline treatment using ...

BSE is a concentrated extract of the brown seaweed Laminaria japonica. This seaweed is gathered in the clean waters of the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Forty pounds of raw Laminaria japonica is needed to make just one pound of BSE. This unique patented technology semidigests the tough outer layer of seaweed fibers exposing, concentrating and making much more bioavailable the macro-and micronutrient-dense central vein of the Laminaria.. Although the nutritional and medicinal powers of seaweeds have been known for thousands of years the scientific basis of their health benefits has been established only recently.. One of the most impressive aspects of BSE that sets it apart from other types of seaweed products is its very high content of soluble polysaccharides like Fucoidan, laminarin and alginate. The former compound is particularly rich in such simple sugars as glucuronic acid, mannose and fucose that give Laminaria its distinctive taste.. The ongoing research into Fucoidan has conclusively ...

Yes. Sometimes bladder wrack is confused with similar seaweeds such as flat wrack, spiral wrack (Fucus spiralis) or serrated, toothed wrack (Fucus serratus). However neither of these seaweeds have air bladders and spiral wrack tends to twist into a subtle spiral as it grows and toothed wrack has a distinctive serrated edge.. Confusion can arise, however, when bladder wrack grows on exposed shores and the bladders dont form, or when it is too young to have produced bladders yet. A wavy or toothed edge is easy to distinguish, but comparing it to spiral wrack, youll need to check if the fronds twist and check the size.. Spiral wrack only grows to about 20 cm long and 2 cm wide, so less than a quarter of the length that bladder wrack grows. ...

One of the best ways to reap the benefits of seaweed is by using it on the skin, which is why it is commonly used as a spa ingredient. Seaweed baths are extremely popular, particularly in the west of Ireland, where a bath is filled with boiling hot seawater and packed full of seaweed - usually Fucus serratus. The scorching water releases the minerals from the seaweed as it steeps and after about 20 minutes or half-an-hour, you can add some cold water to the bath and soak in the salty, mineral-rich water. Besides enjoying a seaweed bath at a day spa, you can also buy packets of seaweed online or at some health stores to create your own bath at home. Seaweed baths have been used as a treatment for arthritis and rheumatism as well as to nourish and rejuvenate dry skin.. Seaweed extract is also a popular ingredient in body masks, moisturizers and creams, but it can cost a fortune if you always rely on the professionals for a facial or body wrap at a day spa. Try these home seaweed spa treatments and ...

Fucoidan, a polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweeds, reduces tumor cell proliferation. (TGFR) degradation [4]. Fucoidan also induces apoptosis by the activation of caspase 3 and downregulation of Erk-mediated pathways [5] as well as by the activation of caspases 9 and 8, which inhibit the growth of A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma) cells [6] and MCF-7 (human breast cancer) cells [7], respectively. In addition, fucoidan inhibits invasion and angiogenesis by human fibrosarcoma cells via repression of the activities of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 [8]. Lung cancer is among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths (mortality) in humans worldwide, accounting for more than 1.3 million deaths each year [9, 10]. Lung cancer has a higher mortality rate due to its ability to metastasize early from the lungs to distant organs. In general, lung cancers can be broadly divided into two major forms: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Lung adenocarcinoma, a subtype ...

Seaweeds are used principally in human food, animal food, fertilizer and nutritional supplements. The nutritional seaweed supplement most readily found on health food store shelves is a brown seaweed named kelp. Kelp is a concentrated source of iodine, but also contains important trace minerals necessary for human existence. Marine plants, such as the brown seaweed plant that is the source of kelp tablets and powder, live and flourish because of sunlight and the nutrients so plentiful in the sea.. The brown seaweed group is usually found in cold waters, although a number of varieties are harvested in the warmer waters of the Pacific off the coast of California. So fantastic is their growing ability, deriving nutrients only from the sun and surrounding water, that when they are harvested four feet from the surface, they grow back within ten days. Seaweeds do not have any roots, but cling to rocks with grippers strong enough to survive the action of waves.. Kelp tablets may contain up to 500mg of ...

ABSTRACT: Increased nutrient loading favors macroalgal blooms in eutrophied coastal ecosystems. The main counteracting factor on this bottom-up support is top-down control by consumers. We asked (1) whether herbivore control on 2 bloom-forming macroalgae in the Baltic Sea varies between different algal life stages, (2) whether herbivores selectively feed on Enteromorpha spp. (Chlorophyceae) thereby supporting dominance of Pilayella littoralis (Phaeophyceae), and (3) whether various herbivore species differ in their effects. In comparative field and laboratory experiments, we analyzed herbivore pressure and selectivity on germling density and adult thalli of Enteromorpha spp. and P. littoralis. In the field, herbivores reduced macroalgal recruitment by 80% within 14 d indicating strong herbivore control at early life stages. Recruits of Enteromorpha spp. were significantly preferred over P. littoralis Adult thalli of both algae showed similar growth rates, but grazing rates were significantly ...

Plasmodesmata (singular: plasmodesma) are microscopic channels which traverse the cell walls of plant cells and some algal cells, enabling transport and communication between them. Plasmodesmata evolved independently in several lineages, and species that have these structures include members of the Charophyceae, Charales, Coleochaetales and Phaeophyceae (which are all algae), as well as all embryophytes, better known as land plants. Unlike animal cells, almost every plant cell is surrounded by a polysaccharide cell wall. Neighbouring plant cells are therefore separated by a pair of cell walls and the intervening middle lamella, forming an extracellular domain known as the apoplast. Although cell walls are permeable to small soluble proteins and other solutes, plasmodesmata enable direct, regulated, symplastic transport of substances between cells. There are two forms of plasmodesmata: primary plasmodesmata, which are formed during cell division, and secondary plasmodesmata, which can form ...
