Seaweed is lifted out of the top of an algae scrubber/cultivator, to be discarded or used as food, fertilizer, or skin care. Alginates are used in industrial products such as paper coatings, adhesives, dyes, gels, explosives and in processes such as paper sizing, textile printing, hydro-mulching and drilling.
Dulse, a type of edible seaweed. Algae are used as foods in many countries: China consumes more than 70 species, including fat choy, a cyanobacterium considered a vegetable; [citation needed] Japan, over 20 species such as nori and aonori; [119] Ireland, dulse; Chile, cochayuyo. [120] Laver is used to make laverbread in Wales, where it is known ...
The brown algae include the largest and fastest growing of seaweeds. [6] Fronds of Macrocystis may grow as much as 50 cm (20 in) per day, and the stipes can grow 6 cm (2.4 in) in a single day. [13] Growth in most brown algae occurs at the tips of structures as a result of divisions in a single apical cell or in a row of such
A biologist holds clumps of dulse seaweed grown by Cascadia Seaweed in British Columbia, Canada. The company is cultivating the algae for use as a feed additive and biostimulant in agriculture ...
A giant "blob" of sargassum seaweed measuring 5,000 miles wide — twice the width of the continental United States — is headed for the Florida coast and already covering beaches with algae that ...
Seaweed were generally considered homologues of terrestrial plants, [11] but are only very distantly related to plants, and have evolved plant-like structures through convergent evolution. [12] Where plants have leaves, stems, and reproductive organs, kelp have independently evolved blades, stipes, and sporangia.
Asparagopsis taxiformis (red sea plume or limu kohu), formerly A. sanfordiana, [1] is a species of red algae, with cosmopolitan distribution in tropical to warm temperate waters. [2] Researchers have demonstrated that feeding ruminants a diet containing 0.2% A. taxiformis seaweed reduced their methane emissions by nearly 99 percent. [3]
