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.
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.
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 ...
Scientists in attendance were interested in how harvesting algae could become a method to maintain and improve water quality. Algae to fertilizer: Harvester could help defend against Florida's ...
Maerl grows at a rate of c. 1 mm per year. [2] It accumulates as unattached particles and forms extensive beds in suitable sublittoral sites. [ 3 ] The term maerl originally refers to the branched growth form of Lemoine (1910) [ 4 ] and rhodolith is a sedimentological or genetic term for both the nodular and branched growth forms (Basso et al ...
Chondrus crispus—commonly called Irish moss or carrageenan moss (Irish carraigín, "little rock")—is a species of red algae [1] which grows abundantly along the rocky parts of the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. In its fresh condition it is soft and cartilaginous, varying in color from a greenish-yellow, through red, to a dark ...
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.
Mesodinium rubrum (or Myrionecta rubra) is a species of ciliates. [1] It constitutes a plankton community and is found throughout the year, most abundantly in spring and fall, in coastal areas. Although discovered in 1908, its scientific importance came into light in the late 1960s when it attracted scientists by the recurrent red colouration ...
