The association of microscopic epiphytic algae with marine macroalgae (seaweeds) hosts is common. One such epiphyte is Acrochaetium species and its growth under the influence of its host nutrients and bioprospecting is not investigated. In this work, the nutritional influence of host seaweed extracts red Gracilaria corticata, green Ulva fasciata, a...
In this study, agarophyte Gracilaria edulis was successfully cultivated in laboratory condition. An attempt to grow G. edulis by removing associated bacteria was made to identify their role in the host growth. But antibiotic treatment did not remove the associated bacteria completely rather reduced the bacterial load. Antibiotic untreated (ABUT) sa...
Marine biomass production known as blue carbon sequestration now received global attention as 50% greenhouse gas (CO2) sinks into ocean. Most of the marine macroalgae (seaweeds) growing along the tidal, intertidal and subtidal regions of the coastal waters are edible and also used as a source for industrially important hydrocolloids (agar, carragee...
