Wetlands, and especially salt marshes, are well-known sinks of metals, which limit toxic amounts metals from entering the food chain. This study investigated metal concentrations (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) in a highly urbanised estuary, compared vegetated rhizosediment (Salicornia tegetaria, Spartina maritima, Zostera capensis) with bare sediment, depositional non-depositional site, intertida...

This study aims to evaluate the toxicity, antibacterial activity, and chemical profiling of Gracilaria salicornia extract. The research stages included extraction, bioactivity test, GC-MS, docking analysis. activity showed better sensitivity against Escherichia coli than Staphylococcus aureus. inhibition zone E. ranged from 7.73-17.30 mm, while S. aureus 6.91-13.44 all extracts were toxic Artem...

Salicornia neei halophyte extends in Argentina seashores. To envisage potential applications, cell wall sequential extraction performed on dry plant yielded 1.1, 2.4, 0.3 and 0.9% of pectin fractions respectively extracted by room temperature water, 90 °C-water, CDTA Na2CO3. They contained 21–33% uronic acids (UA) with low degree methylation 0.5–1.2 M ratios neutral sugars to UA. High arabinose...
