Non-photosynthetic photoreceptors detecting different wavelength ranges in the UV and visible region of spectra may trigger algal acclimation homeostasis. We studied Plocamium cartilagineum responses based on saturation photosynthesis by Amber light supplementation qualities, applying an experimental design able to simulate a daily cycle fully automated system. Thalli were exposed Amber, + UV-A, Blue Green radiation treatments under two nitrate levels (60 240 μM) for enrichment lasting...
Anthropogenic impacts on water resources, especially by nutrient discharge, is a worldwide problem in marine coastal areas. In this context, seaweed cultivation aquaculture wastewater can be considered as an alternative for effluent mitigation, where the biomass becomes source of valuable compounds. The current study examined potential use seaweeds Ulva pseudorotundata and rigida to remove nutrients treat effluents from culture Chelon labrosus . Two experiments were conducted under...
Intertidal macroalgae have developed adaptation and acclimation strategies protecting against stressful environments. The red algae, Porphyra sensu lato are well known for their use as human food, but they also present potential applications in cosmeceutics. In order to enhance the content of interested bioactive compounds, this study evaluated effects three different stress factors, through two bi-factorial experiments, combination PAR supplemented by UV-A, Violet Blue radiation...
The photosynthetic performance of an estuarine population Ulva rotundata Bliding was determined under natural radiation during a daily cycle. primary production estimated following two methods, oxygen evolution and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) uptake calculated from the pH change alkalinity in media after incubation closed bottles. Maximum values (261 μmol O2 m−2 min−1) were reached midday. course DIC rates different since maximum rate (248±10 C obtained later afternoon. In any case, no...
Abstract The Asian brown macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae has invaded the oligotrophic areas of Mediterranean coasts since 2015, with drastic impacts on environmental conditions and socioeconomic activities in coastal Europe. Therefore, it is intriguing how this species able to grow expand at observed rates. In context, physiological responses R. changing nutrient concentrations temperature were analyzed. Two experiments conducted, evaluating six combinations nitrate phosphate their potential...
Spatial changes of different phosphorus fractions in the sediment Palmones River, have been studied during dry season.Results show dominance inorganic forms over organic ones, with values ratio IP/OP reaching almost 3. Apatite Inorganic Phosphorus was most abundant fraction a clear upper part river.All showed depuration effect due to Reservoir Charco Redondo (up 80% for fraction).There trend increasing concentrations downstream, maximun reached estuary.The gradient accumulation higher than...
Abstract Short-term N-NH 4 + and N-NO 3 - removal by U. pseudorotundata under different initial nutrient concentrations biomass stocking densities, monitoring in parallel photosynthetic parameters obtained Pulse-Amplitude-Modulation ( PAM ) Fluorometry of chlorophyll-a evaluating characteristics (CHN, proteins, carbohydrates) was investigated. The results showed that cultivated solar radiation a land-based out-door pilot scale efficient removing even as high 500 µmol L⁻¹ ensuring complete...
