The ability of laminaria, along with other brown algae, to absorb heavy metals is a current area of interest regarding their use to remove heavy metals from wastewater. [18] Laminaria has been shown by recent research to have a favorable mannuronic/guluronic acid residues ratio (M/G ratio) for heavy metal absorption in its alginate.
Laminaria hyperborea is a massive, leathery seaweed, up to 360 cm long. [3] The holdfast is large and cone-shaped, with branched rhizoids, looking rather like a bird's foot. The stipe is circular in cross section, rough, thick at the base and tapering upwards. Older stipes are often covered with epiphytic red algae. The laminate blade is deeply ...

Laminaria agardhii has many uses, ranging from traditional medicine to nutritional intake. Laminaria is high in iodine, a nutrient crucial for proper thyroid function. In addition to promoting thyroid health, members of the family Laminariaceae can be used to induce and aid in labor. Pieces of laminaria can be put in the cervix and water added.
