As the global demand for carrageenophyte Kappaphycus is steadily increasing, its overall productivity, carrageenan quality, and disease resistance are gradually declining. In face of this dilemma, wild populations viewed as sources new cultivars that could potentially enhance production; therefore, assessment their diversity crucial. This study highlights morphological genetic species obtained ...

The abuse of synthetic antibiotics is one the leading causes emergence antibiotic-resistant microorganisms that have become primary health concern. To overcome this resistance and counteract all side effects drugs, attention was diverted towards natural resources for developing antimicrobial substances. This study tests effect carrageenan isolated from Kappaphycus alvarezii on pathogenic bacter...

Marine algae are a promising alternative feedstock for biosugar production since they rich in carbohydrate content, do not compete with food crops land, and fast growing. This study used the marine Kappaphycus alvarezii as to produce biosugar. In order convert algal biomass biosugar, hydrolysis is needed breakdown complex structure of lignocellulosic material tissues. this study, process was pe...

Seaweeds can produce variety of bioactive components for the benefits of humans. Malaysia is one of the countries to produce red seaweeds, which are popular secondary metabolites. Kappaphycus species, largest tropical red algae exhibit the high growth rate. It was reported that its biomass can grow double in just 15 to 30 days. Therefore, this investigation emphasized on two extraction...
