The green seaweed Ulva: a model system to study morphogenesis
Green macroalgae, mostly represented by the Ulvophyceae, the main multicellular branch of the Chlorophyceae, constitute important primary producers of marine and brackish coastal ecosystems. Ulva or sea lettuce species are some of the most abundant representatives, being ubiquitous in coastal benthic communities around the world. Nonetheless the genus also remains largely understudied. This rev...
متن کاملThe ultrastructure of fertilization and zygote formation in the green alga Ulva mutabilis Foyn.
Fertilization and zygote formation in the multicellular green alga Ulva mutabilis Foyn were studied with the aid of transmission and scanning electron microscopes. The growth mutant 'slender' was used in this investigation. The initial contact between mating gametes is made by the flagella, whereupon cytoplasmic contact is established within a few seconds. Fusion of the cytoplasm of the 2 cells...
متن کاملBacteria-induced morphogenesis of Ulva intestinalis and Ulva mutabilis (Chlorophyta): a contribution to the lottery theory
The green marine macroalgae of the class Ulvophyceae (Ulvophytes) are common algae distributed worldwide particularly in intertidal areas, which play a key role in aquatic ecosystems. They are potentially valuable resources for food, animal feed and fuel but can also cause massive nuisance blooms. Members of Ulvaceae, like many other seaweeds, harbour a rich diversity of epiphytic bacteria with...
متن کاملAutoradiographic evidence for the rapid disintegration of one chloroplast in the zygote of the green alga Ulva mutabilis.
This paper gives evidence suggesting that one of the two chloroplasts contributed to the zygote of Ulva mutabilis is rapidly destroyed. Chloroplasts in an advanced stage of disintegration can be seen only 4 min after copulation. Radioactive labelling of gametes prior to copulation shows that the disintegrating chloroplast is supplied through the + (plus) gamete, while the chloroplast from the —...
متن کاملPhysiological and physico-chemical characterization of dietary fibre from the green seaweed Ulva fasciata Delile.
This work aims to assess the potential of the green seaweed Ulva fasciata Delile as an alternative source of dietary fibre (DF). Total DF content was determined, some of its physico-chemical properties described and the physiological effects of U. fasciata meal on rats fed a hypercholesterolemic diet were investigated. U. fasciata may be considered a potential alternative source of DF with a to...
