Algae-based fuel are considered a promising sources of clean energy, and because it has many advantages over traditional biofuel, research and business ventures have driven into developing and producing Algal-biofuel. But its production stages create a cost structure that it is not competitive with traditional fuels. Therefore, cost becomes the main obstacle in commercial production purpose. Ho...

A study of non-diatom algal species composition in twelve sites from Greater Zab River path within Erbil Province, was carried out April 2021 to January 2022 with monthly sample collection studied sites. Among them site 4,5,6,7 and 9 are the first for this area. The 112 different algae belong 33 genera, 25 families, 13 orders 4 divisions have been identified. predominant genera included Spirogy...

The goal of The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation‟s Global Development Program is to improve the income and well-being of people living on less than $2 per day. The Program seeks to promote specific changes that will help reduce extreme poverty in a set of target countries. To achieve this goal, the Global Development Program will invest in three complementary drivers of economic growth: (1)...

Schneider, Craig W. The Red Algal Genus Audouinella Bory (Nemaliales: Acrochaetiaceae) from North Carolina. Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences, number 22, 25 pages, 3 figures, 1983.—A monographic study of Audouinella in the Atlantic waters of North Carolina reports 15 taxa from coastal and continental shelf habitats. Three of these, A. affinis, A. hoytii, and A. ophioglossa, herei...

Thirteen species of benthic marine algae are reported new for the isolated mid-Atlantic Azores archipelago and five older records are confirmed. Seven (Bangia atropurpurea, Codium fragile spp. tomentosoides, Ectocarpus fasciculatus, E. siliculosus, Porphyrostromium ciliare, Ulothrix flacca and Ulvaria oxysperma) are widespread amphi-Atlantic species some of which extend in distributional range ...

The marine green macroalga Ulva (Chlorophyta) lives in a mutualistic symbiosis with bacteria that influence growth, development, and morphogenesis. We surveyed changes in Ulva's chemosphere, which was defined as a space where organisms interact with each other via compounds, such as infochemicals, nutrients, morphogens, and defense compounds. Thereby, Ulva mutabilis cooperates with bacteria, in...

The green algal genus Ulva includes a speciose group of marine macroalgae inhabiting shallow seas worldwide. Although algal blooms in Asia highlight the opportunistic nature of several "nuisance" species, recent research clearly reveals important positive benefits of Ulva. Applied research requires accurate, reliable, and rapid identification, however, identification of Ulva spp. has met with c...

We present an annotated list of new finds of red algae from Hainan Island, Southern China, including those found in 1990 and 1992 during the German-Chinese expeditions to Hainan Island and in 2008–2016 by Titlyanova, Titlyanov, and Li. Between 1990 and 1992, a total of 64 taxa of red algae were newly recorded for Hainan Island. Of these 15 species were new records for China. During the period 2...
