Abstract Even though raw mass spectrometry data is information rich, the vast majority of underutilized. The ability to interrogate these rich datasets handicapped by limited capability and flexibility existing software. We introduce Mass Spec Query Language (MassQL) that addresses issues enabling an expressive set patterns be queried directly from data. MassQL open-source query language for flexible spectrometer manufacturer-independent mining MS envision flexibility, scalability, ease use...
The complex interactions between epiphytic bacteria and marine macroalgae are still poorly understood, with limited knowledge about their community structure, interactions, functions. This study focuses on comparing prokaryotes structure three seaweed phyla; Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta, Heterokontophyta in an easternmost rocky intertidal site of the Mediterranean Sea. By taking a snapshot approach simultaneously collecting samples from same habitat, we minimize environmental variations that...
Asparagopsis taxiformis (Delile) Trevisan is a red marine macroalga (Bonnemaisoniales, Rhodophyta) with high invasive potential and broad worldwide distribution. In the Mediterranean Sea, A. was reported before opening of Suez Canal comprised two different cryptic lineages, named L2 L3. As for Israeli Sea (IMS), benthic populations have seemingly expanded several large seasonal blooms recorded in recent years. However, neither ecology nor molecular substantial studies been conducted this...
Abstract Marine macroalgae are a potential feedstock for biorefineries that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to bioeconomy. New knowledge technologies efficient conversion of solar energy into biomass needed increase yields efficiency. In this work, we show the green from Ulva sp. grow under pulsed light in photobioreactor with higher exergy efficiency comparison cultivation constant same intensity. tested frequencies, 1–40 Hz duty cycles (DC) 1–100%, DC has stronger...
Abstract Controlling the life cycle of green macroalga Ulva (Chlorophyta) is essential to maintain its efficient aquaculture. A fundamental shift in cultivation occurs by transforming thallus cells into gametangia and sporangia (sporulation), with subsequent release gametes zoids. Sporulation occurrence depends on algal age abiotic stimuli controlled sporulation inhibitors. Thus, quantification intensity critical for identifying biotic factors that influence transition reproductive growth....
Asparagopsis taxiformis is a red marine macroalga (= seaweed) (Bonnemaisoniales, Rhodophyta) with high invasive potential and thrives worldwide. In the Mediterranean Sea, A. was recorded before opening of Suez Canal since then two different cryptic lineages, named as L2 L3, have been documented. As for Israeli Sea (IMS), in last 20 years, benthic populations seemingly expanded, several large seasonal blooms recent years. However, neither ecology nor molecular substantial studies conducted....
