Micro-algae have potential as sustainable sources of energy and products and alternative
mode of agriculture. However, their mass cultivation is challenging due to low survival under …

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 …

Because of depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, levels of solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B)
radiation (280–315nm), which penetrates the water column to an ecologically-significant …

Abstract The genus Dictyota (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) comprises parenchymatous algae
occurring predominantly in tropical to warm-temperate waters and has gathered attention …

The effect of copper enrichment and salinity on growth, photosynthesis and copper
accumulation of two temperate brown seaweeds, Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus …

The vulnerability and acclimation to increased UVB radiation in three macroalgae of different
morpho-functional groups collected in the Mediterranean coastal waters were evaluated …

The red macroalgae Hydropuntia cornea, Gracilariopsis longissima and Halopithys incurva
were cultured for 14 d under laboratory conditions, in enriched seawater with a high nutrient …

Lessonia nigrescens and Durvillaea antarctica, two large sub-Antarctic brown algae from the
southern Chilean coast, were exposed to solar UV radiation in an outdoor system during a …

Previous studies on diurnal photosynthesis of macroalgal species have shown that at similar
levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400–700nm) the photosynthetic rate is …
