Comparative patterns in thermal performance between populations have fundamental implications for a species sensitivity to warming and extreme events. Despite this, within-species variation is seldom measured. Here we compare both between-species, two of seagrass ( Posidonia oceanica Cymodocea nodosa ) seaweed Padina pavonica Cystoseira compressa across the Mediterranean Sea. Experimental from ...

In this research, the effect of light intensity and salinity regimes on element levels Treptacantha barbata (formerly Cystoseira barbata) was studied, elemental compositions brown alga collected from wild stocks also compared with cultured ones. culture trials, 11 different experiments that have ranges as 50 to 150 µmol photon m-2s-1 24 ‰ 42 were designed according response surface methodology ...

Dispersal and recruitment are fundamental processes for population recovery following disturbances in sessile species. While both processes are well understood for many terrestrial species, they still remain poorly resolved for some macroalgal species. Here we experimentally investigated the effective dispersal and recruit survival of a mesophotic Mediterranean fucoid, Cystoseira zosteroides. I...

Natural compounds offer interesting pharmacological perspectives for antiviral drug development. In this study, we have analysed sulphated-fucan-containing fractions isolated from the brown seaweed Cystoseira indica. The crude water extract (CiWE) and the main fraction (CiF3) obtained by anion exchange chromatography had potent antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and...

Physodes have been recognized in meristodermic and promeristematic cells by correlated light- and electron-microscope investigations using different fixation procedures. They are vesicles which contain an osmiophilic material of phenolic nature. Their content changes in appearence according to the fixative used. Osmiophilic deposits are often associated with coiled and disturbed lamellar format...

Aquatic ecosystems and algae, which are the primary producers living in these areas, subject of many studies due to their importance. Macroalgae indicator organisms terms showing elemental composition region they live in. In this study, analyzes macroalgae belonging Cystoseira foeniculacea Gongolaria montagnei were carried out, that species collected from coastal Antalya Province Serik District...
