Seaweeds are marine floras constituting in part to over 90% of the oceanic biomass. Despite enrichments seaweeds, their potentials largely unexplored. Hence, this study evaluated phytochemical screening, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxicity activities methanolic extracts Ecklonia radiata Jania verrucosa. E. J. verrucosa were collected from sites on rocky shores Mbashe Port St. John...

Three types of sea alga distributed along the Syrian coast have been collected and analyzed for radioactivity and trace elements. Results have shown that (137)Cs concentrations in all the analyzed sample were relatively low (less than 1.2 Bq kg(-1) dry weight) while the levels of naturally occurring radionuclides, such as (210)Po and (210)Pb, were found to be high in most samples; the highest o...

Proximate and bioactive compounds (total phenolic, flavonoid, chlorophyll-a total carotenoid contents) of three brown seaweeds (Dictyota dichotoma, Padina pavonica, Stypopodium schimperi) a red seaweed (Jania rubens) from the north-eastern Mediterranean Sea (İskenderun Bay) were investigated seasonally at sampling sites. Seasonal variations found for all parameters studied. The highest ash cont...

Three strains of prosthecate, budding bacteria, MHS-2T, MHS-3T and VP6T, were isolated from marine habitats including the open ocean (the pelagic zone), the offshore region (the neritic zone) and the hydrothermal vent region. A polyphasic approach including 16S rDNA sequencing, phenotypic analyses, serology, fatty acid analyses, membrane protein profiles and DNA-DNA hybridizations was used to p...
