SELEKSI KLON BIBIT RUMPUT LAUT, Gracilaria verrucosa

Chlorinated C12 fatty acid metabolites from the red alga Gracilaria verrucosa.

Three compounds containing moieties rarely encountered in nature, viz., 3-nonyloxirane-2 carboxylic acid methyl ester (1), 2-chlorododec-2-en-1-ol (2), and 2-chlorododec-2,11-dien-1-ol (3), were isolated from the red alga Gracilaria verrucosa, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods.

In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of Gracilaria verrucosa Extracts on Osteoclast Differentiation

Bone remodeling, a physiological process characterized by bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts, is important for the maintenance of healthy bone in adult humans. Osteoclasts play a critical role in bone erosion and osteoporosis and are bone-specific multinucleated cells generated through differentiation of monocyte/macrophage lineage precursors. Receptor activator of...

Bioethanol production from Gracilaria verrucosa, a red alga, in a biorefinery approach.

In this study, Gracilaria verrucosa, red seaweed has been used for production of agar and bioethanol. The algae harvested at various time durations resulted in extraction of ~27-33% agar. The leftover pulp was found to contain ~62-68% holocellulose, which on enzymatic hydrolysis yielded 0.87 g sugars/g cellulose. The enzymatic hydrolysate on fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae produced e...

Elephantiasis Nostras Verrucosa

A 53-year-old woman presented to the hospital complaining of severe pain in her right leg for the past several days. She has a 5-year history of lymphedema in her right leg, as well as morbid obesity, recurrent cellulitis, erysipelas, and osteomyelitis. She has never suffered from filariasis and has no family history of familial lymphedema. Her temperature on admission was 100.9◦F (38.3◦C). Exa...
