BACKGROUND: Sea grape (Caulerpa racemosa) is one of the marine plants that produce active compounds can be used as medicinal ingredients with antifungal properties to inhibit fungal growth. AIM: The purpose this study was determine whether ethanolic extract ethyl acetate fraction and n-Hexane sea grapes taken from Kampung Terih, Riau Islands could growth fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

This study aims to determine the effect of giving sea grape extract (Caulerpa racemosa) in inhibiting Aeromonas hydrophila bacterial infection tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and concentration use which is effective inhibit this was an experimental using a completely randomized design (CRD).The variables observed were changes fish behavior, morphology, anatomy, survival, water quality parameter...

The invasion of the aquarium strain of the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia and subsequent alteration of community structure in the Mediterranean Sea raised awareness of the potential for non-native seaweeds to impact coastal communities. An introduction of C. taxifolia in southern California in 2000, presumably from the release of aquarium specimens, cost ~$7 million for eradication efforts. Besi...

Habitat-modifying invasive species can influence rates of predation on native prey either directly by providing protective structure or indirectly by modifying traits of prey species responding to the habitat. The alga Caulerpa taxifolia is one of the most successful invasive species of shallow-water marine systems globally, often provisioning habitat in areas previously lacking in vegetated st...

Seaweeds are a traditional food throughout the Pacific. In Samoa, edible seaweeds limu fuafua (sea grapes, Caulerpa racemosa and C. chemnitzia) a’au (red seaweed, Halymenia durvillei sp.) hand-harvested consumed fresh or cooked, respectively. However, there is limited scientific documentation of these commodities. Here, we assess use cultural value explore modern consumer preferences perceived ...
