Increases in ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface due to the depletion of the
stratospheric ozone layer have recently fuelled interest in the mechanisms of various effects …

Marine macroalgae, the main primary producers in coastal waters, play important roles in
the fishery industry and global carbon cycles. With progressive ocean global changes …

Seaweed polyphenols are potent antioxidants and have also been shown to have α-
glucosidase inhibiting activity. In our continuous efforts to develop new marine-based …

For the last two decades there has been a rise in awareness about the general low dietary
intake of vitamin D 3. Fish have the highest natural content of vitamin D 3, which is …

The effects of ultraviolet radiation in the biological relevant wavebands of UV-A (315–
400nm) and UV-B (280–315nm) on algae have become an important issue as a man-made …

Stratospheric ozone depletion and the concomitant increase in irradiance of ultraviolet-B
radiation (UVB) at the earth's surface represent major threats to terrestrial and aquatic …

Continuing depletion of stratospheric ozone and subsequent increases in deleterious
ultraviolet (UV) radiation at the Earth's surface have fueled the interest in its ecological …

Most marine macroalgae live attached to a substrate in coastal areas characterized by a
very variable environment mainly due to the tide cycle which is more or less important …

This article provides an overview of existing literature on the ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation
effects on algae and cyanobacteria. We report on the effects of UV-B radiation to the growth …

To cope with the biotic and abiotic stresses experienced within their environment, marine
macroalgae have developed certain defence mechanisms including the synthesis of photo …
