Algae Covered Pond. Algal nutrient solutions are made up of a mixture of chemical salts and seawater. [1] Sometimes referred to as "Growth Media", nutrient solutions (e.g., the Hoagland solution, along with carbon dioxide and light), provide the materials needed for algae to grow.
Dulse is one of many edible algae. Algaculture may become an important part of a healthy and sustainable food system [11]. Several species of algae are raised for food. While algae have qualities of a sustainable food source, "producing highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals" and e.g. having a high protein ...
Batrachospermum is a genus of red algae from the family Batrachospermaceae.Due to its complex biological life cycle, descriptions of the taxon typically focus on gametophytes, while sporophytes, i.e., carposporophytes, are filamentous structures growing on the gametophyte, on which they depend.
Batrachospermaceae [2] is a family of fresh water red algae (Rhodophyta). Genera within the Batrachospermaceae generally have a "Lemanea-type" life history with carpospores germinating to produce chantransia. [3] Sporophyte phase with meiosis occurs in an apical cell to produce the gametophyte stage. [3]
The marine red alga Porphyra has been cultivated extensively in many Asian countries as an edible seaweed used to wrap the rice and fish that compose the Japanese food sushi and the Korean food gimbap. In Japan, the annual production of Porphyra species is valued at 100 billion yen (US$1 billion). [11]
Liagoraceae is a family of red algae in the order Nemaliales. [2] The type genus is Liagora J.V.Lamouroux.. It was originally called Helminthocladiaceae by J.Agardh in 1851, but P. Silva in 1980 stated that this was predated by Liagoraceae which was published in 1843.
Galdieria is a genus of red algae belonging to the order Galdieriales; [1] family Galdieriaceae. [2] It was created by an Italian botanist Aldo Merola in 1981 for the identification from the species of Cyanidium. [3] [4] Species: [2] Galdieria daedala O.Yu.Sentsova, 1991; Galdieria maxima O.Yu.Sentsova, 1991; Galdieria partita O.Yu.Sentsova, 1991
Florideophyceae is a class of exclusively multicellular red algae. [3] [4] They were once thought to be the only algae to bear pit connections, [5] but these have since been found in the filamentous stage of the Bangiaceae. [6] They were also thought only to exhibit apical growth, but there are genera known to grow by intercalary growth. [6]
