One of the dominant species green algae growing along Mediterranean coast Egypt is Ulva lactuca. Pretreatment can have a major effect on biogas production because hydrolysis cell wall structure rate-limiting stage in anaerobic digestion (AD) process. The use ozone, new pretreatment, to boost from lactuca was investigated this study. Ozonation at various dosages used contrast untreated biomass, ...

Ulva lactuca is a functional food ingredient with high antioxidant content. The presence of heavy metal contaminants in natural needs to be eliminated. was investigated for its potential as nephroprotector female Wistar rats. study assessed Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) levels, creatinine and kidney histopathology. experiment included Group I (control), II (administered 1000 mg/Kg BW/day lactuca), ...

Macroalgal blooms of Ulva lactuca and Hypnea musciformis have been problematic in shallow coastal waters around agricultural and urbanized regions of Maui, Hawai‘i for decades. Observations have highlighted the correspondence between these blooms and elevated nutrient levels from the adjacent land-use, however little evidence exists regarding the effects of nutrient enrichment on the blooming a...

Lessonia spicata is a key dominant species along the Pacific coast of South America, providing a habitat for many organisms. However, this role can be affected by abiotic stress, such as metals. To counteract the toxic effect, L. spicata, among other seaweeds, releases exudates that bind metals. In this study, tolerances to copper of organisms related to the kelp forest (spores of Ulva lactuca ...
