One of the dominant species green algae growing along Mediterranean coast Egypt is Ulva lactuca. Pretreatment can have a major effect on biogas production because hydrolysis cell wall structure rate-limiting stage in anaerobic digestion (AD) process. The use ozone, new pretreatment, to boost from lactuca was investigated this study. Ozonation at various dosages used contrast untreated biomass, ...

Comparison the cytotoxic effects of Ulva fasciata and lactuca on MCF-7 MDA-MB-231breast cancer cell lines

Three fungi newly intercepted from importing plants were identified in 2004. They were Ascochyta chrysanthemi on Lactuca sativa from China, A. spinaciicola on Spinacia oleracea from Denmark, and Leptosphaerulina australis on Brassica oleracea var. capitata from China. The characters of these fungi were described and illustrated.

Here, we present the 3,795,952 bp complete genome sequence of the biofilm-forming Curtobacterium sp. strain BH-2-1-1, isolated from conventionally grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa) from a field in Vestfold, Norway. The nucleotide sequence of this genome was deposited into NCBI GenBank under the accession CP017580.

In vitro antioxidant activity of Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) and three brown seaweeds belonging to the division Phaeophyta were evaluated. The species Padina pavonica, Colpomenia sinuosa, Cystoseira myrica and U. lactuca were collected during low tide between March and June 2012 from the coastline of the Persian Gulf (Hormozgan and Bushehr provinces), Iran.Ethyl acetate, n-Hexane and methanol e...

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) makes up a large fraction of the total dissolved nitrogen pool in coastal waters, but is often ignored as a potential nitrogen source for primary producers. In laboratory experiments, we measured the uptake of small, labile DON compounds, urea and a variety of different amino acids, by the common estuarine macroalgae Ulva lactuca and Gracilaria vermiculophylla. ...
