چکیده
What are algae? Algae organisms that perform photosynthesis; is, they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen (therefore have chlorophyll, a group of green pigments used by photosynthetic convert sunlight into energy via photosynthesis) live in water or humid places. great variability divided microalgae, small size only visible through microscope, macroalgae, which larger size, up to more than 50 m (the maximum recorded was 65 m), greater diversity the oceans. Thus, term “algae” is commonly refer “marine macroalgae seaweeds”. It estimated 1800 different brown 6200 red found marine environment. Although algae diverse, ones largest.

Microwave-Assisted Transesterification of Macroalgae
Nowadays microwave radiation is being researched to produce biodiesel from different raw materials due to the many advantages that this technology presents compared to traditional transesterification, such as shorter reaction times and less amount of heat energy to obtain biodiesel. The aim of this research was to explore the possibility of carrying out the microwave-assisted transesterificatio...
متن کاملAntifouling Compounds from Marine Macroalgae
Marine macroalgae produce a wide variety of biologically-active metabolites that have been developed into commercial products, such as antibiotics, immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic agents, and cosmetic products. Many marine algae remain clean over longer periods of time, suggesting their strong antifouling potential. Isolation of biogenic compounds and the determination of their ...
متن کاملValuable compounds in macroalgae extracts.
Bioactive compounds present in ethanolic extracts from 18 macroalgae of the Portuguese coast were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), leading to the characterization of 14 compounds: proline, phloroglucinol, mannitol, 8 fatty acids and 3 sterols. A dose-dependent response against enzymes with biological significance (α-glucosidase, acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinest...
متن کاملNatural porous agar materials from macroalgae.
Porous agar materials have been prepared from marine macroalgae species using a simple microwave-assisted extraction/drying methodology, providing a new family of polysaccharide derived porous solids. The microwave-assisted extraction allows a more efficient and less time-consuming extraction of the polysaccharide compared to conventional extraction protocols based on conventional heating. DRIF...
متن کاملBiomechanical consequences of epiphytism in intertidal macroalgae.
Epiphytic algae grow on other algae rather than hard substrata, perhaps circumventing competition for space in marine ecosystems. Aquatic epiphytes are widely thought to negatively affect host fitness; it is also possible that epiphytes benefit from associating with hosts. This study explored the biomechanical costs and benefits of the epiphytic association between the intertidal brown algal ep...
