Structural colour in Chondrus crispus
The marine world is incredibly rich in brilliant and intense colours. Photonic structures are found in many different species and provide extremely complex optical responses that cannot be achieved solely by pigments. In this study we examine the cuticular structure of the red alga Chondrus crispus (Irish Moss) using anatomical and optical approaches. We experimentally measure the optical respo...
متن کاملA Cultivated Form of a Red Seaweed (Chondrus crispus), Suppresses β-Amyloid-Induced Paralysis in Caenorhabditis elegans
We report here the protective effects of a methanol extract from a cultivated strain of the red seaweed, Chondrus crispus, against β-amyloid-induced toxicity, in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans, expressing human Aβ1-42 gene. The methanol extract of C. crispus (CCE), delayed β-amyloid-induced paralysis, whereas the water extract (CCW) was not effective. The CCE treatment did not affect the t...
متن کاملGenome structure and metabolic features in the red seaweed Chondrus crispus shed light on evolution of the Archaeplastida.
Red seaweeds are key components of coastal ecosystems and are economically important as food and as a source of gelling agents, but their genes and genomes have received little attention. Here we report the sequencing of the 105-Mbp genome of the florideophyte Chondrus crispus (Irish moss) and the annotation of the 9,606 genes. The genome features an unusual structure characterized by gene-dens...
متن کاملHexose Oxidase from Chondrus Crispus expressed in Hansenula Polymorpha
Hexose oxidase (HOX) is an enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of C6-sugars to their corresponding lactones. A hexose oxidase enzyme produced from a nonpathogenic and nontoxigenic genetically engineered strain of the yeast Hansenula polymorpha has been developed for use in several food applications. It is encoded by the hexose oxidase gene from the red alga Chondrus crispus that is not known to...
متن کاملRT-qPCR Normalization Genes in the Red Alga Chondrus crispus
Chondrus crispus is a common red macroalga living on the rocky shores of the North Atlantic Ocean. It has a long research history, being a major source of carrageenan, a thickener widely used in the food industry, but also for physiological and ecological studies. To establish it as a model for red algae, its genome has been sequenced, allowing the development of molecular tools such as quantif...
