Isolation of guanosine diphosphate uronic acids from a marine brown alga, Fucus gardneri Silva.
Guanosine diphosphate D-mannuronic acid and guanosine diphosphate L-guluronic acid were isolated from the marine brown alga, Fucus gardneri Silva. These uronic acid nucleotides, reported to occur for the first time in living cells, are considered to be the precursors for the biosynthesis of alginic acid which constitutes about 18% of this alga. A mixture of 3 moles of the two uronic acid nucleo...
متن کاملRecovery of the brown alga Fucus gardneri following a range of removal intensities
The consequences of disturbance are known to be non-linear functions of disturbance intensity. In this study, we investigate the effects of a range of disturbance intensities by experimentally manipulating the cover of Fucus gardneri, a dominant intertidal alga. The effects of disturbance on subsequent Fucus recovery were similar for canopy reductions of 0–80%. However, complete removal of all ...
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 کاملNitrogen content in the brown alga Fucus gardneri and its relation to light, herbivory and wave exposure
Nitrogen is a necessary element for much of seaweed physiology, and is the most common limiting nutrient for marine macroalgae. Therefore, the content of nitrogen in algal tissue is often considered a useful indicator of algal productivity. However, the significance of algal nitrogen content in the field is understudied. We used a factorial manipulation of light and herbivory at three sites in ...
متن کاملPhotoinhibition of photosynthesis in the marine brown alga Fucus serratus as studied in field experiments
In field experiments photoinhibition of photosynthesis'in the intertidal brown alga Fucus serratus was investigated by means of both fluorescence and oxygen measurements. Samples were taken from thalli floating just below the water surface. Dunng falling tides the ratio variable fluorescence/maxlrnum fluorescence (FJF,) decreased with increasing photon fluence rates. As during rising tides only...
