sulfated polysaccharides have shown promising effects on wound healing processes along with many other biological activities. the sulfated polysaccharides extracted from two algae species habitats in persian gulf were studied in vivo for their effects on collagen formation and epidermal regeneration. the polysaccharides were purified from aqueous extracts of p. tetrastromatica and p. boergeseni...

the alginate was extracted with six different methods from iran south seacoast algae, sargassum sp, and the percentage yield of alginate was determined. we divided our methods to two groups including acidic extraction and non-acidic. in acidic methods, hcl and h 2 so 4 were used as a detergent in extraction process and cacl 2 was exerted in non-acidic treatments. all treatments compared with ea...

Brown algae, the Phaeophyceae (or Fucophyceae; Christensen, 1978), are a class (or division, Phaeophyta; Papenfuss, 1951) of algae consisting mainly of complex, macroscopic seaweeds whose brown color comes from a carotenoid pigment, fucoxanthin, and in some species, various phaeophycean tannins. Of perhaps 2000 species (in 265 genera) of brown algae (Van den Hoek et al., 1995), less than 1% are...

(also known as array genomic comparative hybridization, or array CGH) with established diagnostic procedures including G-banded karyotype and fragile X testing. Arrays for CMA tests are widely available, but have not yet entered general practice to the extent that generally agreed standards and references exist. Applying CMA to the entire genomes of 697 ASD patients, Shen et al. detected clinic...

The aim of this study was to identify seaweeds in the southern coasts of Iranian waters and providing an atlas. The collecting and identification of seaweeds in the southern coasts of Iranian waters were carried out from October 2001 to September 2003. Data on vegetation were gathered in sub tidal and intertidal zones by seasonal and monthly sampling, respectively. Samples were transferred to t...

Nowadays, organic fertilizers play an important role in agriculture. They are progressively substituting chemical fertilizers to prevent their harmful impact on human health and the environment. They provide high yield, better quality products and a shorter period of harvesting crops. In this study, the mineral elements: primary macronutrient (N, PO3- and K+), secondary macronutrient: (Ca2+, Mg...

Estimation and comparison of effective compounds (mineral contents, amino acids compositions, fatty acids distributions, protein, fat and total fiber contents) in two algae species Sirophysalis trinodis and Polycladia myrica collected from Qeshm Island were done. The samples washed up with tap water and then were dried in an oven at 40 ◦C for 3 days. The dried algae samples were pulverized and ...
