Adventitious branching as a herbivore-induced defense in the intertidal brown alga Fucus distich us
Adventitious branches are produced following lnjury in at least 5 specles of brown algae in the family Fucaceae. Field experiments showed that these structures can be induced in the intertidal brown alga Fucus distichus by mechanical damage to the plant apices. The mean number of adventitous branches on F. distichus and the percent of plants with adventitious branches was positively correlated ...
متن کاملVariation in thermal stress response in two populations of the brown seaweed, Fucus distichus, from the Arctic and subarctic intertidal
It is unclear whether intertidal organisms are 'preadapted' to cope with the increase of temperature and temperature variability or if they are currently at their thermal tolerance limits. To address the dichotomy, we focused on an important ecosystem engineer of the Arctic intertidal rocky shores, the seaweed Fucus distichus and investigated thermal stress responses of two populations from dif...
متن کاملBiosorption of Copper Ions by Marine Brown Alga Fucus vesiculosus
Copper is present in different types of industrial effluents, being responsible for environmental pollution. Biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal and recovery of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. The biomass of marine algae has been reported to have high uptake capacities for a number of heavy metal ions. In this paper, the adsorption properties of a pr...
متن کاملFucoidans from Brown Alga Fucus evanescens: Structure and Biological Activity
Brown alga Fucus evanescens, widespread in the Far Eastern seas of Russia, is valuable source of sulfated polysaccharides—fucoidans with beneficial biological activities. The most homogenous fraction of fucoidan from F. evanescens was shown to be molecule containing linear main chain of alternating 2-sulfated 1,3and 1,4-linked α-L-fucose residues. Few sulfate groups were found in position 4 of ...
متن کاملThe Identification of a SIRT6 Activator from Brown Algae Fucus distichus
Brown seaweeds contain many bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, polysaccharides, fucosterol, and fucoxantin. These compounds have several biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, anti-hypertensive, and anti-diabetic activity, although in most cases their mechanisms of action are not understood. In this study, extracts generated from five brown al...
