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 ...
An agarophyte is a seaweed, usually a red alga, that produces the hydrocolloid agar in its cell walls. [1] This agar can be harvested commercially for use in biological experiments and culturing. In some countries (especially in the developing world), the harvesting of agarophytes, either as natural stocks or a cultivated crop, is of ...
Gelidium amansii, also known as by its Korean name umutgasari, [1] is an economically important species of red algae commonly found and harvested in the shallow coast (3 to 10 m or 10 to 33 ft of depth below the water) of many East Asian countries including North and South Korea, China, Japan, Singapore, and northeast Taiwan.
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
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]
Galdieria sulphuraria is an extremophilic unicellular species of red algae.It is the type species of the genus Galdieria. [2] It is known for its broad metabolic capacities, including photosynthesis and heterotrophic growth on over 50 different extracellular carbon sources.
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]
