Rumput laut merupakan salah satu komoditas ekonomi yang menjadi unggulan Indonesia dan jenis banyak dibudidayakan adalah Eucheuma cottonii (Kappaphycus alvarezii) spinosum. Usaha peningkatan produksinya dikembangkan melalui modifikasi metode budidaya untuk mencapai hasil produksi maksimal. Jarak tanam faktor berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan produksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji perbedaan j...

A single-cavity microwave heating system has been designed and fabricated for microwave-assisted extraction of carrageenans from seaweed. The system comprises a single mode (TE101) waveguide fitted with power and temperature controls, together with a continuous-flow-recycle reactor operating at atmospheric pressure. The system has been tested by extraction of E. cottonii and E. spinosum in aque...

Functional genomics has proven to be an efficient tool in identifying genes involved in various biological functions. However the availability of commercially important seaweed Eucheuma denticulatum functional resources is still limited. EuDBase is the first seaweed online repository that provides integrated access to ESTs of Eucheuma denticulatum generated from samples collected from Kudat and...

Abstract The comparison of optimum conditions for lead (Pb) analytical method using dithizone and EDTA complexes in Eucheuma Spinosum (Eucheuma Sp.) was measured a standard addition method, where the solution Pb 2+ added to sample reduce noise. Additionally, UV-Vis spectrophotometer used with Spinosum, ions both were measured. Both first developed determine optimal pH that would measure level S...

A 5% aqueous solution of degraded carrageenan derived from the red seaweed Eucheuma spinosum was fed to guinea pigs in their drinking water over a period of 20-45 days. Occult blood in the faeces and multiple ulcers in the caecum, colon and rectum occurred in 100% of animals by the 30th day. The clinical and pathological features bear a close resemblance to human ulcerative colitis. The method ...
