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. ...
متن کاملStreptomycetes from Marine Seaweeds: Their Antimicrobial and Antibiotic Potential
Recent research has increased our knowledge and understanding of the antimicrobial effect of marine Streptomyces. In a systematic screening effect, Streptomyces isolates from different marine seaweeds were investigated for antimicrobial activity against Vibrio pathogens (V. harveyji, V. parahemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. algniolyticus) and potentially active secondary metabolites. The differ...
متن کاملGlycolipids from seaweeds and their potential biotechnological applications
Marine macroalgae, or seaweeds, are a formidable source of natural compounds with diverse biological activities. In the last five decades it has been estimated that more than 3000 natural compounds were discovered from these organisms. The great majority of the published works have focused on terpenoids. In comparison, glycolipids are a neglected class of macroalgal secondary metabolites theref...
متن کاملThe Footprint of Continental-Scale Ocean Currents on the Biogeography of Seaweeds
Explaining spatial patterns of biological organisation remains a central challenge for biogeographic studies. In marine systems, large-scale ocean currents can modify broad-scale biological patterns by simultaneously connecting environmental (e.g. temperature, salinity and nutrients) and biological (e.g. amounts and types of dispersed propagules) properties of adjacent and distant regions. For ...
متن کاملPhylogeny and Biogeography of Cyanobacteria and Their Produced Toxins
Phylogeny is an evolutionary reconstruction of the past relationships of DNA or protein sequences and it can further be used as a tool to assess population structuring, genetic diversity and biogeographic patterns. In the microbial world, the concept that everything is everywhere is widely accepted. However, it is much debated whether microbes are easily dispersed globally or whether they, like...
