Cultivation and Ecology of Seaweeds

Life strategy, ecophysiology and ecology of seaweeds in polar waters

Polar seaweeds are strongly adapted to the low temperatures of their environment, Antarctic species more strongly than Arctic species due to the longer cold water history of the Antarctic region. By reason of the strong isolation of the Southern Ocean the Antarctic marine flora is characterized by a high degree of endemism, whereas in the Arctic only few endemic species have been found so far. ...

Cultivation-Dependant Assessment, Diversity, and Ecology of Haloalkaliphilic Bacteria in Arid Saline Systems of Southern Tunisia

Haloalkaliphiles are polyextremophiles adapted to grow at high salt concentrations and alkaline pH values. In this work, we isolated 122 haloalkaliphilic bacteria upon enrichments of 23 samples from 5 distinct saline systems of southern Tunisia, growing optimally in media with 10% salt and at pH 10. The collection was classified into 44 groups based on the amplification of the 16S-23S rRNA inte...

Sustainable Exploitation of Saline Resources ecology, ecophysiology and cultivation of potential halophyte crops

The seaweeds of Iran

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...
