Recent investigations of nutrient-limited productivity in coral reef macroalgae have led to the conclusion that phosphorus, rather than nitrogen, is the primary limiting nutrient. In this study, comparison of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen:phosphorus ratio in the water column of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, with tissue nitrogen:phosphorus ratios in macroalgae from Kaneohe Bay suggested that nitrogen,...

Kappaphycus alvarezii es una de las especies algas más cultivadas en el mundo, debido a su alto contenido compuestos bioactivos con reportes antioxidantes y bioestimulantes. El presente estudio evaluó efecto densidades plantación sobre la composición bioquímica antioxidante K. cultivada un sistema línea larga durante estaciones seca húmeda, fin proporcionar base científica para cosecha óptima. ...

Rumput laut (Kappaphycus alvarezii) merupakan hasil perikanan yang memiliki potensi sangat besar sekaligus nilai ekonomis tinggi dengan olahan produk beragam sehingga dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat pesisir. Namun permasalahan sering timbul pada usaha budidaya rumput yaitu adanya serangan penyakit ice-ice. Gejala ice-ice umumnya ditandai pemutihan bagian pangkal thallus, tengah dan ...

Abstract Studies have shown that cultivars of the carrageenophytes Kappaphycus and Eucheuma are clones a limited number strains originally domesticated from wild populations. For development selection new cultivars, it is important comprehensive record available variants exists. This study was conducted to provide up-to-date analysis compilation current state as last list compiled nearly decade...

DNA barcoding has been a major advancement in the field of taxonomy, seeing much effort put into the barcoding of wide taxa of organisms, macro and microalgae included. The mitochondrial-encoded cox1 and plastid-encoded rbcL has been proposed as potential DNA barcodes for rhodophytes, but are yet to be tested on the commercially important carrageenophytes Kappaphycus and Eucheuma. This study ga...
