We explored the use of an opportunistic green alga, Enteromorpha intestinalis (L. Link), as an indicator of N enrichment in a southern California salt marsh. In conjunction with N additions to cordgrass (Spartina foliosa, Trin) in April, June and August 1995, mesh bags containing N-starved algal tissue were placed within cordgrass patches, at their edges along islands, and in adjacent channels....

Algae are used for many purposes: in food industry, animal feeding, medicine, cosmetic industry and for soil enrichment. There are also many secondary ways for using algae: producing alginates and derivates of algae used in industry. Nowadays researchers use to analyze algae for medical purposes, because they have a strong potential against many diseases, in alimentation because they act like p...

In vitro the antibacterial activity of the Acetone, Methanol and Ethanol extracts of three marine algae from Ennore beach near Chennai (coast of Tamil Nadu) were tested. The test organism includes Gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, agar well diffusion test techniq...

BACKGROUND Seaweeds are taxonomically diverse benthic algae, which are rich in bioactive compounds. These compounds have a potential application in medicine. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the bioactive properties of three seaweed samples, Enteromorpha antenna, Enteromorpha linza and Gracilaria corticata were collected from the shoreline of Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu. MATE...

The concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Mn) and macroelements (K, Na, Ca and Mg) were determined in green alga Enteromorpha sp. from the coastal zone of the southern Baltic including Gulf of Gdańsk and Vistula Lagoon in 2000-2003. In order to estimate the degree of accumulation of each element by the green alga, concentration and discrimination factors (CFs) with respect to s...

Objective: The primary objective is to morphologically identify a marine sponge from Sethubavachatram village in Tamil Nadu, India. Then the bacteria associated with sample synthesize silver nanoparticles and know antimicrobial property of samples. Methods: sponges identified by morphology found be Hippospongia intestinalis. Lysinibacillus macrolides. Silver were synthesikzed analyzed SEM TEM. ...
