Benthic marine algae are sources of compounds of commercial and biotechnological interest, and can be biofilters, since they use the nutrients of the medium in their metabolism. Species of Gracilaria Greville are exploited as raw material for the agar production and studies on their development are necessary for the sustainable production of biomass, agar and new bioactive compounds. The …
The seasons are very typical in the polar regions, with long periods of low light because of the polar night and the ice cover during the winter, and a few hours of darkness between long periods of light during the summer. To survive at such conditions, biochemical and physiological adaptation strategies are required by macroalgae, ensuring protection and food in the dark period, making t…
The increase in the anthropogenic activities in coastal areas and the consumption of fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution, has caused serious impacts on marine ecosystems and marine benthic algae. These organisms can be used as biofilter, since it removes nutrients from the marine environment and incorporate them in the proteins and amino acids form. Moreover, CO2 is used in metab…

Seaweed products exhibit activities that stimulate growth and the use of seaweed formulations as biostimulants have been used in agricultural production. Phytohormones are physiologically important small molecules that play essential roles in intricate signaling networks that regulate diverse processes in plants. Recent results suggest that measuring phytohormone levels in various seaweed…
